Snippets

I’ve been doing a lot more in-depth thinking about my writing lately-maybe too much, if that’s possible.  In the process I try to allow my ideas more time to marinate without the fear that I will forget them completely.  Should ideas be written down?  Sometimes I telegraph plot points with bullet point-type sentences, but I don’t write outlines.  One word is about as deep as it gets.  I’m not sure if this is the best method of writing; keeping the ideas crammed in my head until they go onto the paper.  It’s worked so far, but it also accounts for some strange dreams.
