the right idea
How do you know that a new idea is the right one? I know this may be a controversial idea…but I’ve found that new ideas, the best ideas, should not be noted down. What do I mean by that? Ok, let’s say you wake in the soundless dark—a bridge comes to mind. Fierce and billowing in the wind, this structure connects two parts of an imagined city. Good meets bad. The connection point. Great! It’s an idea, even a kernel that could be unwound to make a poem, short story, or novel. Some would tell you to jot it down and go ahead if that’s your choice. But for me, the ideas that stick around are the right ones. When my brain finds the absolute idea, it comes back. And believe you me, it always comes back if it is the right one.
Thoughts?
