I once had a dream with the best plot for a story ever, almost spelt out word for word and in the instant I woke I remembered that tale vividly, but as soon as I swung one foot out from the covers it was gone, just like my sleep. Also I get that feeling. My mind constantly contrives new tales everyday including the couple that I am working on currently. I fear that I will never finish the stories that I am doing now, let alone the ones I think of daily. I think I want other people to read them, but mainly its because I want to know how they end myself. You are all so right.

I had to remark, after your having read my post about the scattered and varied thoughts my head is always stuffed with, on your, "But I suspect most fiction writers are like me, with so many ideas they can’t sleep at night..." Nice to know I'm not alone! Thanks for visiting my site and leaving such a nice comment.

I stumbled across it when it started, and I used material (with pemission) from it to post to a payiing blog. So, it's for more than just a laugh or to get ideas--reading it can really pay off!

I've just posted about how the ideas come to a writer and my own particular problem of it being not in story concept, but fully written out so then losing the story from there. I have never sought out the writing exercises, but in order to learn to think from concept to story, this is a good site to use as an exercise. Though my first thought was that it takes advantage of real pain at times, where else do we get story except from real life? Thanks! Good timing with this.

I wake up sometimes in the story already, and have the perfect wording in mind. By the time I get to the computer my waking mind has taken over, slow, stumbling, and so awkward in comparison. Sometimes if I sit and listen and quiet my mind it comes back to me. Other times it's as if I grasped a jewel that's lost forever on the other side of sleep. Thanks, blogdog. I wasn't aware it's updated on Sundays. Don't feel bad, Reenie, I found it once before, lost it, and just found it again. They are exactly as you say, totally honest sometimes in a way one would never be unless anonymous and reaching for one's own deepest truth. I know what you mean, Rhubarb.

Thanks, blogdog. I wasn’t aware it’s updated on Sundays.

I'm a hayseed. Until now, I'd never heard of PostSecret. I laughed, I cried. Touching. Raw. Putting it on my 'favorites' list. Okay. I’m a hayseed. Until now, I’d never heard of PostSecret.

I can't wait for Sundays to read the latest submissions -- even the accidental art is sometimes astonishingly good, and the secrets themselves cover the entire spectrum of human emotion and experience, distilled into 10 words or fewer.
