Always the way - I find that I have the most brilliant writing in my head and then when I write it, it just doesn't sound as good (probably wasn't that good to begin with...) Also love those early mornings without the little people (love them dearly but sometimes it's nice to wake up and get the day started at your own pace!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-87002879998833564422013-06-02T04:47:23.018+08:002013-06-02T04:47:23.018+08:00What a great post.

Watching an idea turn into a tangle of words is heartbreaking, I think the only thing you can do it save rather than delete and come back to it. Space and perspective is sometimes all you need to rediscover the utter brilliance of your original idea :). Sorry, suggesting you save probably hits a raw nerve right now! <br /><br /> I only wish I could write down the fabulous ideas I have at opportune moments. I stick some in the phone but others happen when I'm driving or in the shower and completely unable to record them for later. <br /><br />Great post.

I think it's something we can all relate to at some point. <br /><br />Writing processes are so varied. I write straight into Wordpress for the most part. Probably not a very wise thing to do. I always know what I'm going to write in my head before I start, so the title comes first. I guess I'm a muller, which is why I don't seem to post more than a couple of times each week.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744785002688814128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-68518911730573069492012-05-27T13:16:13.134+08:002012-05-27T13:16:13.134+08:00Must have been so frustrating, but you still ended...Must have been so frustrating, but you still ended up with an awesome post :-)<br />Hey, this is right up your street as I know you like to turn your hand to the creative side too!

Painful and irreversible.<br />I usually have an endless list of ideas as well - and usually I'm pretty good at the first line. It's the stuff between the first line and the last that evades me!<br />Ronnie xoRonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01466441168826959532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-59925381220724142282012-05-25T19:14:48.019+08:002012-05-25T19:14:48.019+08:00Oh man, losing stuff!

I don't even like using the iPad. Usually I take pen to paper if I'm trying to organise my thoughts, then I sit down ready to type.
