I was looking through old files the other day and found a bunch of finished stories that I'd printed out years ago but never did anything with. Now I gotta update them and send them out.) <br /><br />I love making lists of any type, R.T., and the kind you mentioned can come in handy. But you're certainly more organized--thank goodness--than I am.John Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001712728130488485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-85878122264444098022013-04-12T10:29:05.807-04:002013-04-12T10:29:05.807-04:00Very interesting post.

I've only gotten one story idea from a dream or waking dream (one workable idea, I mean), but I have had problems with a current writing project resolve themselves in the wee small hours. And I do agree that there's nothing more relaxing than a backlog of story ideas.Terence Fahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928381496296429254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-88830888570300992362013-04-12T10:00:34.679-04:002013-04-12T10:00:34.679-04:00Oh, Janice, you don't know how relieved I am t...Oh, Janice, you don't know how relieved I am to hear that! Because I don't have lists, etc., either. Other than names - I have lists of names and places that sound interesting. That's about it.

I...I'm impressed at your level of organization.<br />I'm afraid I have neither lists nor outlines and my only cheat sheets are for operations on the computer.<br /><br />Clearly the Muse works in mysterious ( and different) waysjanice Lawnoreply@blogger.com
