Ideas are fragile.
They appear suddenly and can vanish just as quickly.
Keep a notebook or notes app ready at all times.
Write down every thought, no matter how small or incomplete.
A phrase, a feeling, a passing observation…they can spark bigger stories later.
Sometimes ideas come while walking, waiting, or in the shower.
Don’t judge them immediately. Just capture them first.
Later, you can return, expand, and shape them into something meaningful.
Talking to others about ideas can also help them grow.
Even a casual conversation can trigger inspiration you didn’t expect.
Look around for visual cues, overheard words, or unusual events…they are all seeds.
The key is to act fast before the idea slips away.
Captured ideas become a treasure trove for stories waiting to be told.
