Question people who write things:

do you ever call yourself and leave a voicemail when you think of something clever? you know, when you're not near a computer or notepad or something?

i do.

Ideas rarely come to me socially, they're usually when I'm just by myself and whatever so a notepad's always near by. But yeah, I'd text myself if I need to. I've written on my arm a few times when it's like, 4am and I don't want to get out of bed.

if i have something i need to remember and no access to a computer, i will do that..
but not for writing, because i don't do that really... usually it's like
"pay rent!"

for some reason I can just mentally file stuff away and retrieve at an appropriate time. Its easier than it sounds and I rarely forget stuff. I hate taking notes, personally.

I have no memory.

Well, I do, it's just exceptionally poor. Except for stuff that's hardly important, like stories, video games, etc.

yah, me too. I Can't remember people's names or streets, teachers, etc. important shit like that all but I can recall vauge TV shows from when I was a kid or a story idea complete with scenes and dialouge if I think about it.

So my memory works for me in certain trvial ways but against me in, like, a million other ways.

Exactly. It really sucks for homework and stuff cause I'll remember HW I have to do at like, midnight. But then I'll quote Futurama constantly. It's annoying and dumb.

i used to have dreams in which i created the most heavenly guitar riffs i've ever heard. i can never remember them correctly upon wakening.

i've tried to sing a few if the come to me during the day, and then try to figure them out later.


i had a dream last night in which conan o'brien made a very funny joke. i wonder if he gets credit for the joke or if i do. basically, there was this tiny dog with enormous teeth. and i said, look at the chompers on that mutt! and conan sorta spread his lips in a funny way and pointed and said deadpan, well.. you see.. i've actually had them filed down, and i find them very useful for eating steak and other meats, then he scratched behind his ear likea mutt might. :erm

nevermind.

I tend to keep it all on my head. The two books I want to write are very organized up there...hopefully not to stay.

dude, this makes me so fearful though. like, without a doubt, the most valuable thing i have is my mind.. my concept of self, the implicit, constantly evolving models of how the world functions, everything that makes me me.. what if i get in a car crash? it could totally fucking disappear. i'd be lost. the very notion terrifies me, and i'm not being melodramatic here.

i would LOVE if they could develop some technology where you could have a backup of yourself on a device should an unfortunate accident occur. but then i think of all the potentials for abuse, ie, thieving a celebrity's identity and selling it to lots of people, etc... yikes!!



btw, thank you very much for responding to the writing! i will write you back this evening!

My memory is horrible.. In fact, I worry that I'm forgetting to do something all the time..

Sometimes I forget which classes I have and where the rooms are.. That's scary when you've been going to them daily for almost a year. Oh well, only happened once or twice and I remembered after a while.

If I wrote it down, I would lose it. If I made an outline in Word, chances are I wouldn't use it. Thinking through it helps me develop characters more. I don't know if I said this to you before, but when I decide on a character I want to write about, I tend to let her inhabit me and as I go through my day, I test out her reactions to the stimuli I face. My writing process itself is just very internal and more character based than event based.
