On Blogging….
Does anyone else have the same problem I have? I’ve found that since I started blogging, I have potential posts swirling around my head. They are there during the day while I am going about my work, describing what I am doing and taking imaginary photographs….They are there at night, stopping me from going to sleep, but unfortunately by morning I have forgotten most of what I wanted to write (and they were such literary masterpieces too! lol!).
Someone should invent some sort of wireless mind link thingo…. that beams the posts that swirl around in my head straight onto the computer….. so that I can get back to real life and a good night’s sleep…..

I also wish there would be a way to beam those posts straight to the computer too! It sure would make life easier. Then we could be blogging while driving down the road, folding laundry or at the grocery store!

Yep. Sometimes I jot a few notes down on paper. Most of the time I don’t. Nearly every time my DH asks me what I’m thinking about these days I respond with “my blog”.

Yes, I have the same thing happens to me. In flies great ideas, and then out just as fast. Worse, they fly into oblivion, never to be remembered again even though I know it was a great idea! One way I have found to combat this travesty is the go right away and write the title or punch line in the subject title or and then go to bed. In the morning I have a reminder that serves as a flashback to my original idea and it helps to spark my thoughts back to what I was doing and what I was thinking at the time of the great idea. Alternately, you can post at night when everybody is in bed and you can think in complete sentences. This is what I do most of the time. I have several posts waiting for me to write (from my saved titles)when I get a spare moment.

I think of wonderful posts too during the day (or night) but when I sit down to type I can’t remember half of it!

Yes, I agree… someone *should* invent a wireless “thingy” to capture blogging ideas.

Oh, I’m glad I’m not the only one!! I do feel a bit bad sometimes that I am thinking about posts so often. I feel I should be giving my family more of my “undivided” attention… rather than my blog!
Writing the ideas down is a good idea, I should try that.
Love,
Joy
