Whenever I get an idea for a blog post, I jot it down in the notebook I have sitting by my computer. I do this so that when it comes time to write, I'm not scrounging for ideas. Most of the time, I write down a title that lets me easily remember just what I wanted to talk about. However, there are times when I look at what I scribbled and wonder, "What the hell was I thinking about?"
I recently came across that phenomenon when I looked at a title called "Dissociative Properties." Pondering it, I started to wonder what I meant. I know I could probably take such a thing and turn it into a halfway decent post, but I'm equally sure that it wouldn't be anywhere close to what I was thinking about when I wrote it down.
This isn't the first time this has happened. No, it doesn't happen often, but it does occur. Maybe it's just my age starting to creep in. Am I really going to have to start writing a brief synopsis of what I was thinking about? The whole point behind the quick note to myself was so that I could write down the idea and come back to it later. If I have to start writing out in advance, it's going to defeat part of the purpose.
I know, I know...I'm whining. I just can't, for the life of me, remember what I wanted to say in conjunction with that title. Maybe I can ponder it for a while and it'll all come back to me. Maybe not. But don't laugh - you may see this one in a future post...
...or I might pretend I never wrote it at all, at which point you'll never get to see it, so there!
