I get flustered  when  I have a good idea, but when I sit down to write it has gone bye bye.  Lately I have taken up a few habits to keep  me from letting those good idea slip away.

1-         I use the notes apps on my i Phone to jot down notes on the fly, no matter where I am at or what I am doing.

2-         I also have a little notebook in my purse with a small pen attached to it to write down quick small notes.  This way I can jog my memory on topics I am wanting  to write about.

3-         At night I have a journal next to my bed that I use to write down ideas before bed.  Also if I dream of anything that I want to write about I can turn on the light jot down the note and go back to bed.

These new habits are working great for me so far and I am sure I will develop other good habits as time passes.  Making my writing life so much more about the writing than the sitting there trying to remember that good idea I had.
