I'm with you! I have so many - not so much abandoned as not yet acted upon - ideas floating around my Notion. Fortunately, I'm good at transcribing them from my voice notes on my phone (where many of them start as I'm walking around) and scraps of paper so they're all in the same place :)
I write haiku, and I've had some drafted haiku that aren't working and have been sitting there for months. Sometimes I think I should note the central idea, then delete the draft to start with a fresh slate. Maybe this weekend :)
Hi Lisa, using voice notes is a brilliant idea. I haven’t got into the habit of that – yet. Stay tuned for the next interview as you share that approach with them…
I’ve discovered that you can do voice notes on iPhone notes and it automatically transcribes it for you. Although I haven’t tested it much to see how good it is.
I like the idea of deleting a draft and starting with a fresh slate. That’s bold! Please share how you get on. Good luck!
I enjoyed this piece and its accompanying photos, especially for bringing to light those older buildings that are overshadowed by modern constructions or the cliched images of certain places. For example, of Hull,where my nan and her siblings grew up.
Also reassuring to hear of your many abandoned story ideas. I have about 700 in the 'notes' on my phone, and only wish I had the time to develop at least some of them! I particularly liked your idea of the 'sound' of lavender. Thanks for a lovely piece.
Hi Gen, thanks so much for your comment. I’m glad you’re reassured by the abandoned story ideas. I don’t think I’m alone with that and it’s a lot better than the alternative, which would be to have no ideas at all.
Lovely to hear of our shared connection with Hull, too. Thanks for sharing 💚
Excited to visit England this summer for a whole month! Will certainly be going on lots of walks.
It’s one of the best ways to explore. Enjoy!
