I've had a lot of inspiration lately in terms of writing, and it's driving me crazy. These are the ideas that will put money in my pocket with time and effort, but there are so many it's hard to keep track of them all. I'm trying a few ways to keep track of ideas in the hopes that they can become more.
Write it down- always keep pen and paper close to hand so you can scribble down everything related until you can start writing it.Don't be afraid to start a new story- you're muse is a fickle sort, taking the time to start something when it's fresh can save you emotional pain later on.Talk about it- share your thoughts with a friend, you never know when you'll fix a plot hole that way.That's pretty much what I have now, but it's worth it to keep track of everything. After all, the rewrite of a fifteen year old story idea has become the best selling item I've written.
