I woke up this morning with my head full-filled by many ideas .
Cooking - Life - myLot - Education - Health - etc.
I have so much to share , aaannnndddddd it's gooonnee! =D
I've just killed so many ideas I had just been thinking just because I didn't start to type! LOL
It's been a couple hours - I sat and watched my laptop - trying to figure out how I to start a new discussion . How to START it (Can you imagine the answer? - just start typing :D . lol) ?
I admit that I'm lack of starting a new discussion , there's too much ideas could kill you in a second! Then I decided to choose one of them (before all of them gone totally) , and you know what? I've lost in the middle - my ideas was growing so fast that it was out of topic . And then I cancelled it , I close the tab (I really wish that myLot will have a feature to save as a draft) . I'm done.
really?
yes.. I'm done. I never pusblised them on myLot. And it ended terribly - I wrote some of boring topic. I didn't mean to write all of them , but I think it will give you information that maybe you need someday . BUT it wasn't what I really want to share. I've just struggling with my thought - how I should express it properly ...
I just sit before the window - when I realized I've just written one of them.
te - he :D

But then when I felt tired (I'm easily tired when I saw the screen too long) , I hardly to type anymore, even just to write a response grammatically . I messed up . Lol..
Yup, Berting :) . I should feel more enjoy to stay here to not feel upset anymore , evenmore I know now that I'm not alone ;)

The next time you have some interesting discussion in your mind just jot in down in a paper so that you can not forget it the next time you have another one.Too much thinking sometimes makes us forgetful that you could not think of it when you try to think about it because your mind was already overlapping with so many things not just your discussions in myLot was already forgotten.

I keep a notebook with me all the time so every time I got new ideas I write it down at once. Also reading others posts also remind me of so many things so I can start new discussions even when I was not able to prepare beforehand.

Thanks, Aries :)
Have a wonderful day ;)

sometimes I am like that too. I go in front of the computer full of ideas to write but lost in the blink of the eye. Writers block. It can happen to anyone. The "save in draft" section would be great here in my lot. I wish they can have that feature someday :)

Writers block . Yeah ... Something - somehow - blocked my way of writing :)
Well , every writer has their own style on writing, rite? But then when I wanted to write with my own style - I was too afraid to be not listened. Losing my style could be the one of my "writers block" :-)
Well - I really hope myLot will add the feature soon - or I'm going to lose my babies again . haha :D

You poor kid....sounds like you have too much on your mind all at once. 
Why don't you keep a pad and pen next to your bed or somewhere close, and when you get all these ideas about discussions, just jot down a title. This will remind you of what you wanted to say or talk about. You don't need to write the entire discussion down or type the whole discussion until you're ready.
Just make a few notes and use some choice words to remind you of what you wanted to say. Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks, Kashmeresmycat :)
Ummm,sometimes I found myself having ideas all of sudden that I never prepared anything for some those kinds of time . But yes, I should have to jot down a title as soon as I held it on my mind .
Well - I tot I could write them all as soon as I open my laptop - I guess this kinda feeling was like if I hold back the ideas , when I write them all it would be like I couldn't stop typing and the fresh ideas would grow. I still thought of that until I really opened my laptop and "taraaaa" , I had nothing. :D
I should stop that kinda of thought . lol. Well, you very help me so well :)
Thanks a lot , Kasmeresmycat =)

Yes , you are rite . What I needed at that time is a refreshing . A fresh mind could help me to find the answer of a question "How to start.. well, How to finish it?" :D
Thanks for sharing, I'm not alone anymore ;)
Have a wonderful day =)

Actually when words starts flooding in our mind, we're lost.
We can't find the exact words that we want to say or write.
I have experienced such situation wherein I want to write a lot, and ended up with a scratch.

hi,
sometimes i also forgot those topic in my mind,especially when i am going home from my work,but because i only set it to my mind it will suddenly gone after i have reach my home,so sometimes at home i always put it to a small paper so that i will never forget it.

Try to make some guideline for the topic you want to write.
Then if you lost your way in the middle of your writing, you can always get back to the guideline.
It helps me when I want to write something.
But then again, sometimes it feels too lazy to make one (guideline)

Guideline - Concept Framework?
Wow - it is a good idea! I will try to make the guideline before starting to type a discussion :)
Thanks ;)

I understand this, i used to have this kind of problem and its really annoying when it seems that i have plenty of ideas to post on my blog when im not infront my laptop and when i logged in to the laptop i could not recall what i wanted to type.
Whenever you get a new idea go grab a piece of paper and write down the main idea on the paper, you can add the further details later when you open your laptop. If you are too lazy to write just use the recording feature in your phone, record yourself speaking about your idea lol i know it sound weird but it can help us saving our idea. Dont let the ideas vanished from your mind, who knows maybe many members can relate themselves with your topic.
Yup, mylot doesnt have draft facility but we can save our draft in notepad and you can post it later. When you reached 500 ratings (number inside bracket behind your username) you can use copy paste feature to copy from notepad to mylot.

You are half way to reach 500 ratings, I dont know if you know this but now that you've passed 200 ratings you can use mylot emoticons. (im posting from cellphone sometime Im lazy to use emoticons lol)
Take it easy, I think your ideas is still in your mind but you were just too excited so it looked like the ideas has vanished. Relax and enjoy mylot as a place to have fun, you will find the ideas flow by itself.

Ah yes .. Actually I really need the copy paste feature , beside sometimes I lost my internet connection all of sudden in the middle of writing aaaannnddd it's gooonee :-D
Well - sometimes I couldn't speak what is on my mind. It's kinda I was still figuring out what words that could perfectly describe my imagination, my ideas. Ummm.. it's kinda like I have a masive framework of my own concept (I realize this sounds like I had a complicated ideas or I have a very big stuff to tell like I wanted to write a thesis - but believe me it was actually simple things. haha :-) )
But you are rite - I only should write down / record the main idea. Just the keyword, and I should do the rest when I'm ready to type on my laptop. Alas, I should have utilized my smarphone better! Well - I'm ready to record it! ;D

Yes... I often find difficulties on writing them down. I confuse how I order the words - the best words down to my articles :)

That sounds like a kind of delay, the reason of which is that you want to complete everything perfectly. So you consider too much, prepare too much, and hesitate too long to begin to write. It waste you time to think about which one should be done first, which tied you up. The most effective method is to begin anything nearest you, just take one thing first without any thinking and you will accomplish all the thing one by one. Donot decay next time, which will become a bad habbit.

Yes - you are right. I want to finish it perfectly , at least I could express what I really want to say in a simple and easy to read perfectly :)
That wasted my time - I agree on that. To be a procrastinator is killing me , I should try to take an act and just go on without too much thinking I guess. :)
Thanks , Tsingorchid! =)
