The Man Likes to Write

I love to write. Most of the time, it's about nothing. But sometimes I have something profound to say and I lose it while driving in the car.

And why is that? Why do we have the best ideas at the times when we have no way to record to them?

Remember when the first pasta pots first started to appear a few years back? As soon as the first infomercial hit the airwaves about 10,000 Americans and I suddenly remembered that great idea we had while we were driving somewhere one day.

You know what I'm talking about. Something happens to you and it causes a short lived flash of brilliance. A thought that starts off with, "if only there was a way..." And as quick as the thought forms, it's gone.

I made a New Years' resolution to no longer let stuff like that go. If it hits me, I write it down. I don't care if it's on paper, Evernote, or the back of my hand. Those ideas are worth gold, and if I can't make them happen, I can sell them, and if I can't sell them I can give them away here.

And maybe, just maybe, if you pick up an idea for free from me, and it works... well you'll be a little more likely to buy into my next one.
