My stories develop so much from that process. By the time I'm ready to start writing, it's all changed and taken shape.

My number one tip at the moment is the bag I carry around that carries my current manuscript plotting notebook, blogging notebook, and my next story plotting notebook with me. I keep my thoughts organized in those notebooks when I'm away from home (I'm busy with day job at the moment), b/c I'm always having random thoughts that need to be written down.Heather Sunserihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552506888985553471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945626570622121439.post-62741261854137751952010-09-28T16:17:27.108-06:002010-09-28T16:17:27.108-06:00Ha!

Maybe this though: Never let yourself have more than 3 notebooks in your house at a time, switching them out and keeping them in a special drawer or shelf when their full. 1 for your purse. 1 for beside your bed. And 1 that moves everywhere with you and potentially gets lost.

I do love to write, but I, like you, lose things. and forget that I wrote something great in the notebook. Mostly I type out a quick idea in a new document and save it in my writing file on the computer. I see them all the time that way, don't forget I have them there, and it's easy to get back to it when I want.
