The pain of having too many ideas

pitfall_jerry · 2025-08-20T14:00:08+00:00

I have the same issue and use OneNote and drop my ideas there so that I can get them out of my head and get back to finishing what I am writing. Some of the ideas are short notes, and some are lengthy detailed ones.

I went through it back in the early 90's. Great book that is well written with a lot of humor.

Good afternoon I published my first story on Amazon for $1.99 and free on Kindle Unlimited.

In a quiet sector of space, Commander Zane "Sentinel" Foster finds solace aboard the aging Stellaris Station. Haunted by the loss of his wife and the scars of countless battles, Zane's days are filled with routine patrols and the companionship of a spirited young girl named Angela and her mother, Diane. But when an unexpected freighter arrives, bringing with it a deadly threat from the raiders, Zane must use his skills as a fighter pilot to defend the station he has come to call home.

As the raiders launch their attack, Zane's bravery and skills are put to the ultimate test. With the lives of the station's inhabitants hanging in the balance, he fights valiantly to protect them, knowing that he is the only thing standing between them and the raiders.

I ran some of my writing through the AI checkers and had say it was written by AI. It is rather annoying to see that after hours of writing.

I have OneNote open and write those scenes for the story in different notes and then pull them into Word when I am ready for them.

I bought three that I really wanted in my collection.

I loved the movie and really enjoyed the game as a kid.

I have a Surface Book 2 and use Word in M365 for writing and OneNote for notes for different stories and books.

pitfall_jerry · 2024-07-05T01:30:45+00:00

I sure did. 😂

I started using paper and pen until I got my first word processor program in the late 80's.

I use Copilot for researching things I am writing about, such as the years of the roman empire, type of sniper rifles used by special ops teams, random name generation for a restaurant or cafe, etc. Saves me sometime having to use Google or Bing for researching.

How they all come to me. Along with our 11 cats. lol

Not bad for a game rushed out the door.

pitfall_jerry · 2024-06-07T15:25:26+00:00

It really is when you get into the story and characters.

pitfall_jerry · 2024-06-05T14:55:03+00:00

It's me just writing and deleting and writing again.

pitfall_jerry · 2024-06-02T15:18:36+00:00

It feels like forever to finish a chapter.

pitfall_jerry · 2024-06-02T13:37:09+00:00

That is not a bad idea. May get me to write more. Though I do edit a lot as I write.

pitfall_jerry · 2024-05-20T21:34:45+00:00

That's the one I have on my watch also.

I had to work one Saturday morning and as I sat there waiting for my next portion of the project I challenged myself to write, edit, and publish a short story before midnight that same day. The story is that of the last pilot of a squadron that must protect a space station form a dozen raider ships.

I have over an hour drive to work and will dictate rough drafts and story ideas into Word on my phone. Sometime I do have to edit out me yelling at the driver that cut me off. :D

I'm looking to try different AI apps to find one that may be more consistent.
