Find Your Lost Stories
Don’t let them get away forever
The other day I had a great idea for a new story. It would have been great content to write, publish and share with others.
And then I lost it.
I was doing stuff around the house and then I just totally forgot what I was thinking about. It’s maddening.
Yes, I am getting older, like the rest of us. But frankly I was doing too many things at one time and of course I got distracted.
Yesterday I forgot my hat. I remembered everything else that I needed to take to the big soccer game, and it was quite a bit to remember.
“Don’t forget your hat," I said to myself ten minutes before we left. Sure enough, I forgot it completely and I ended up getting a sunburn.
Are these memory lapses something to worry about? Probably not. But I definitely need a strategy to help prevent them.
For writers, it’s very important to think of new interesting ideas for stories and content. After that, it’s very helpful to remember those things so that you have them when you start typing.
