Hello, strangers.
Ever have a day when you have trouble remembering just about anything? Yeah, well, that's the story of my life. Graduate school has officially fried my brain... My once great photographic memory has turned into a complete mushy mess of lost, unfinished thoughts...
I usually do most of my thinking before bed, and I always come up with these fantastic blog posts that I can't wait to write the next morning. I literally write out the entire post in my head, making changes to sentences and getting it perfectly organized. When I think, I see images... so I can literally see myself typing out the blog, making changes as needed, checking spelling, looking at the preview, and then hitting the "Publish Post" button... all the while feeling quite delighted with my work and myself. Then I go to sleep super excited about writing my next great post the next morning, only to wake up remembering not a thing about it... I can't even remember the topic, yet alone all the perfectly detailed sentences I had come up with. It wouldn't be so annoying if it only happened once.. but I can honestly say, this has happened to me at least 5 times since I started this blog. I want to write about interesting, yet somewhat quirky things... but I can't remember a darn thing! So, I end up with these somewhat insightful, hardly interesting blog posts. Not at all what I intended to do with this blog...
So, my new goal... REMEMBER what the heck I want to write.. Maybe I need to keep a pen and paper next to my bed... Then I can jot down the topic and kind of outline what I want to say. I would keep my computer in my room and write my blogs when I think of great topics, but the light from the computer bothers my boyfriend... and he has to work early in the morning... and I don't think he'd appreciate me running out of the room every night to come out and play on my laptop. Ha! ;)
So, hopefully, these little lost thoughts in my brain will somehow find their way back to me so that I can share with y'all my somewhat quirky, always idealistic, maybe a little funny, interesting thoughts. :)
man, i hate when that happens! i always try to put my ideas on wordpad when i first think of them. you can actually adjust the brightness of your computer screen and make it much dimmer!
ReplyDeleteevery blogger needs a pad, real life pen and paper, find a nice one with a cat or something intriuging on the front and then its the start to a conversation too.
ReplyDeleteThe dimmer doesn't really work. He can't have any light.. I even have to turn my phone upside down bc it has this little orange light on when charging, and that's too much light. haha.. He's sensitive. :P
ReplyDeleteYeah, Dan.. I have lots of little notebooks laying around.. I just need to put one next to my bed. :)
