Goofy Writer's Tip: Talk to Yourself

You know how inspiration strikes when you're out and about? Maybe you're driving or walking and typing is the last thing you want to do.

Chances are, you probably have your phone handy.

So here's what to do: learn to use the voice record feature on your phone (almost every model has one) and log your idea for later use.

When I come up with an idea on the trail, whip out my phone and start talking to myself, I know I look goofy - but sometimes I capture a good idea that way, one that I may have forgotten otherwise.

If you don't jot them down, do you remember the good ideas you have when you're out and about?

I'd love to hear from you.

 Happy Trails! ~Diane Stresing
