Write it down. You
got something you want to do? Write it down. What is the topic? It
doesn't have to be perfect. Just write it down. Do you want to start
a small group ? Write down everything that comes to your mind about
it. You can delete the bad stuff later. But when your mind's hot,
ideas flow and come to you. Catch them all. Strike the hammer while
the iron is hot, the old saying goes.
Why? Because there will come a time when your motivation wanes, and then you'll not feel as fired up, and ideas don't come to you as readily. This is not the time to try remembering what came to you when you were feeling good. A short pencil is better than a long memory, and strike the hammer while the iron is hot.
I Use A Pencil: The Experimenter's tool
Yeah, a pencil gives me freedom to experiment. A pencil is great for what's at it's butt---the eraser. We are not at the commitment stage yet, so let's feel free to try things out---check if a sentence is good or not, and use the eraser if not. A pen puts an indelible mark on the work, and makes changes messy---not time for that yet. On the bus, at the gas station, on the flight, I can quickly pull out a pencil and be off to writing.
Let's write.
