The Write Idea

The Write Idea by Ward Tipton

Ideas seem to come at the most inopportune moments. This can be said for many things other than writing as well but how will you remember all of those epiphanies if you have no way to record them? The actual scenarios may vary greatly but the general idea remains the same.

Fortunately for many people, the solution is readily available in order to retain some of these great thought-evoking moments and give you the opportunity to review them when you are in a more lucid state or at a more opportune moment.

How many times have you risen in the middle of the night with a viable and practical solution to the problems ailing you or even something that would just make the world a better place?

How many times has that same concept been lost to eternity when you arise and prepare for the day ahead? How many hours and even days have you wasted in a vain attempt to recreate the idea, the concept or even the scenario where you initially had that one-in-a-million idea?

Many people speak about the power of the written word while having very little knowledge about what the far-reaching consequences really are. What if this meant that you had the power and the capacity to not only retain all of those ideas but to actually be capable of reviewing them when you actually had time and the presence of mind to be able to examine them carefully and separate the gold from the mold?

Many ideas that may seem great in the middle of the night lose much of their value when they are exposed to the light of day. However, if that particular idea never sees the light of day, how will you ever know if you had a winner or not? The fact is that it will be lost forever, for better or for worse.

One of the most difficult aspects of living with a writer who is truly hooked on the idea of ideas is cleaning up after them. This is not because they are slobs and it is not really stereotyping in any sense of the word. It is just that many successful writers have a habit of leaving pens, pencils and notepads all over the place.

Personally, I have ones in the kitchen on the table and the counter, one in the bathroom and quite a few beside the bed. Many of my best ideas come in the middle of the night without warning and completely disappear if I do not write them down immediately.

Sometimes these ideas lead me to question my frame of mind when I wake up and look at them from a more cognitive point of view. Other times I realize that the simple lack of pen or paper beside my bed would cost me much more than an idea.

Not being able to capture those ideas at the moment I had them would have cost me a lot of lost income had I not preserved them in written form immediately as they occurred. While many of them were an absolute waste of time, some of them have been quite successful.

Whether your ideas are great or not so great concepts, they are wasted if you do not preserve them somehow and somewhere. While it may take some adjusting, especially if you have someone who objects to suddenly finding pencils and notepads all over the house, it can be not only worthwhile but actually profitable to start saving those ideas.

Many an issue has been resolved in the middle of the night only to have disappeared again in the light of day. As a writer, it is time to learn that the power of the written words extends to the power to preserve for yourself and in some instances, for your posterity.
