Almost all of us can't remember every thought we have throughout the day. Work, unexpected happenings, and daily tasks push them out. So before you lose all of your wonderful ideas, jot them down!
For example, keep a small journal. When you have an idea, as soon as you can, jot down as many words as you need to remember your idea later on. I use the same technique to write down experiences I want to include and edits I want to make. Even if it seems like a silly thing to write, you never know when it could come to use!
Looking for a journal? You can find notebooks and composition notebooks at your local office supply store. Be careful of what you choose. Spiral notebooks tend to wear out quickly compared to composition notebooks.
