Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for January 02, 2022

And I’ll put my notes in a place where I can always find them.

Looks like Parisi procrastinated. I always mean to procrastinate but I never get around to it.

Writer’s block?

you’re doomed. :D

Sticky notes…yeah! This it!

I always forget what I was going to write half way thro………

And I know it was the most brilliant thing I would be writing all year!

Perhaps it’s for the best.

As a writer, I sometimes come up with ideas in the middle of the night, and, when I get out of bed in the morning i’d find that I’ve forgotten them. I put a pad and pencil on my night table so I could write my “bright ideas” down and read them in the morning when I got up. I tried it a few times and found that either I could not read what I had scibbled or that it made no sense.

Too late, you thought of it, got distracted by writing it, and it’s gone.

Put the “brilliant idea” immediately at the bottom of the page before getting involved in the preamble and forgetting the important part.
