Minilesson: Time & Space

I've been contemplating the "active engagement" questions in this week's minilesson regarding how ideas come naturally. Frankly, I'm not sure. They seem to come at random moments. Sometimes I am good about remembering those ideas to record later, and other times, I've forgotten the ideas before I get to a place where I can write them down. I definitely hate the latter -- especially when I had a great idea and just couldn't remember it. Often I play through my mind what I am going to say, and sometimes I get it perfect, but then, when it comes to writing it, it gets lost in the connect between my thoughts and on paper. That transferal from brain to paper is something I have struggled with in the past. I'm still not sure how to improve it. Perhaps with more practice and more time spent writing, that process will become easier.
