Have had 3 ideas this week, none of have made it in to actual posts. Perhaps the bronchitis is affecting my ability to write?

There’s no end in sight, though. Some unfinished posts include How to Create a Posterized Avatar Using Inkscape and How to Lose 100 Pounds and Keep It Off. Someday I’ll publish them, but by that time, some one click posterizing avatar tool will be the in thing, or negative calories will have be invented. ;) Good to see you. j.

Just yesterday I was looking at how many emails from myself I had with the subj line, “BLOG ME.” I should get on that.

Stick a pen on it. Take it everywhere. IT’s PRICELESS. I have saved so many blog posts from it. Moleskin is better because the pages are thicker, so if you just stepped out of the shower, you can still write on it :)

But I’ve assumed that lost ideas are due to some self-editing kicking in and saving me from myself – not necessarily a bad thing ;-)

Some of my best ideas have been lost — to the post shower rush to work; to the traffic tie-up [BW: before Wisconsin]; to lack of internet, etc.

Keep trying is all we can do.
