Otherwise, I'm asking, what did Uncle Al say just a minute ago? And of course no one remembers, not even the person who said it.

I think carrying a notebook everywhere is an excellent idea. I'm always getting ideas for new posts. I've been adding them to a task list on my Google home page, but I think a notebook is cooler. More writer-like. Thanks for elaborating Craig. I think carrying a notebook everywhere is an excellent idea. I’m always getting ideas for new posts.

Yet, my biggest reactions are laughs I get from family humor stories. My horror novel languishes. I am trying to lighten up the mood of my novel to match that of my short stories. I think I am good enough to make them meet in the middle. Sort of "Buffy" meets "Leave it to Beaver," with a healthy dose of Laurie Notaro thrown in. Google her if you don't know who she is. She is another one of my author heroes. Speaking of lightening the mood, one of my big ideas involves supernatural horror. Yet, my biggest reactions are laughs I get from family humor stories.

I now carry pens and a notebook EVERYWHERE. Someone will say something that will stick in my head. Then I have to write a story to wrap around that idea or phrase that someone said. I also never stop thinking about where my next story is coming from. I invited the voices in my head to speak up, rather than telling them to shut up. That has made all the difference.

You mentioned lightening the mood. I think blogs really need to have a light mood. When I get too serious (and I've often been criticized as being too serious), the post just doesn't come out right. Craig,

I know that many of your posts are brief, but you also make longer, more thoughtful posts that have a lot of insight and discussion. You've mentioned before about writing content within the tight space of a blog, which I interpret as an argument for brevity. I mostly agree, but I think a good mix of long and short posts is also welcome. Scott, thanks for your comment.
