Every idea that pops into my head while I'm laying there trying to fall asleep (because inevitably it always happens when I'm trying to SLEEP!) gets stuck right in the journal.Vicki Oriansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-43130859985773154312012-11-05T09:41:06.771-08:002012-11-05T09:41:06.771-08:00An Idea list is one of the best things a writer ca...An Idea list is one of the best things a writer can have. Sadly, I don't always write my ideas down and I promptly forget them.

Why? 1) My phone is always with me, 2) All my ideas are in one place - I don't have to transcribe material on a bunch of pieces of paper (that may go missing) 3) I can email the voice memo to myself 4) It's less work to do all of this so I'm more likely to do it.Daphne Gray-Grantnoreply@blogger.com
