Big Thoughts

A half-dozen times a day I seem to come up with great ideas to write about. By the time that I get around to actually writing about them - which may be a day later or 60 seconds later - the grand has become the pedestrian. Thoughts come to me and initially strike me as fascinating, funny, or at least original. When I try to expand them to the point of being able to write about them, nothing seems original anymore. Everything seems obvious.

Perhaps I need to add more fiction or creativity to my writing. Maybe I should take a creative writing class. Maybe I should just write more. Tony's instructions for how to blog say to write daily and twice that if you fancy yourself a good writer. I do fancy myself as such; I guess I need to do something to prove it.
