I am a writer.
When I was a child, writing came fairly easily to me and I stuck with it. When I was in high school, I wrote every day for hours a day simply because I had a lot I wanted to say. Sometimes I wrote the same thing over again fifteen times, but I was writing. These days, I don't write nearly as often.
As writers of novels, short stories, poetry, non-fiction, blogs, songs, and the like, one the biggest problems we face is a sudden lack of inspiration or absence of ideas. It isn't that we never have ideas, but often these ideas occur at inconvenient times when we're too busy with other things to do anything with them. And the problem is, like many other writers, I always believe I'm going to remember these ideas later, but I don't.
So, for my own purposes and for anyone else in need of a burst of inspiration, I'm going to stop lying to myself. From here on out, I'm going to write the ideas that wander through my life when I'm on the bus, in class, or about ready to fall asleep down here for future reference.
