For awhile I carried a notebook with me to jot down ideas for stories. It didn't really work for me. Just having the idea in my mind is enough.

A project one. Ideas come easily when there's substance more in your goal. Blogit's good.

Interesting. I could not write a novel/novella/short story to save my life. I actually began writing in 2005 as a way to release pentup emotions from a breakup. I just didn't want to lose my masculinity by being a crybaby with a journal..lol. Oh the irony, as folks tend to think poetry is not for men. I have watched myself evolve in the years  and sometimes I will have an outpouring and other times I won't write for weeks. I write abt little things(a flower) and big things(a mountain) as I am inspired by whatever...IF, I am in a writing mood..which most times I am. I try to carry a small notebook with me and when I don't I write the thought or the whole poem on a piece of paper(I have a few letters with poems written on them..lol) If it's in your blood, you will miss it when you don't write..or maybe I'm just a word whore cuz I love the English language. Haha and peace to you in your endeavors.

I used to have an outpouring of words quite often and had to work at finding something to cut out.  That ended sometime back and now I struggle to even get started.  I always think that maybe some day an outpouring will come once more.

It all sounds very intriguing.

A lazy one probably I would not bother if it were not for this gentle bunch of folk. Also I think it keeps ones mind ticking over.
