I don't know how writers find time to write. I mean the sort that write books, while they have jobs, and children, and A LIFE. The only time I seem to have a creative thought worth capturing is when I'm busy doing something else (I count sleeping in this one too :) ), and I always seem to be too busy to stop to mentally log it for future use.
I am going to try to find a good way to ensure I stop losing the good raw stuff because I'm 'too busy to stop', and also that I look at assessing these ideas and assimilating them into my plot. All too often the ideas are perfectly detailed tableaux of a very specific moment in my character's story - with no idea of the build-up or what is to follow that scene.
I know.
I need to stop and think what I want to be the build-up to that scene. And the resulting plot deveopment from that scene.
Off to find a good online plotting aid...
