Writing Tip #8
Always keep a notebook with you. Jot down names you come across for future characters and plot ideas.
When you are having a plot or character issue, often the answer will come when you are doing other things. Don't let it drift away, thinking you will remember it. You may have super powers of "Elephant-like memory", but most of us have more of the "water down the drain memory."
Someone asked me to give them some writing tips. This sure got me thinking. Hmmm . . . I could go online and find some for them. I could peruse my many books on writing and share. Then I realized that I have a few things that have come to me through the school of hard knocks. So I dug deep and came up with these. I call myself the "WWD--Writer With Desire". I will post them throughout the year.
Very good tip! Thanks!
