Either I've just got one idea and no box, or many ideas (sprouting from the one idea) and many boxes all with holes in and interconnectedness and moving and bouncing around and ethereal.

In average I have about 5 to 8 ideas that urgently push me to map them down with a piece of paper and a pencil. Once they are mapped ideas like these can haunt my brain for as long as a year.... I decided to Print all these Undone Ideas and to create a book about all those Inspirations that do not come with any manuals to get more or less completed in the real world. Wait a moment...what is the real world....Damn another idea to map out :) I made this Mental Process Mapping one day every week….

I have few ideas in very different fields of creativity and i agree with the idea that, as long as you don't get them out, they block new ones. Though, im not able to sort them all out as im not as multi-tasking as my mind wish i was. I have that one idea, im stuck with. Something i cant sort by myself and for which, i dont have the resources to concretize. The few people I talked to about it, we're as certain as i am it would work... big time. Im talking about a business here, but its neither something I ever wanted to do. I should just forget about it i guess, but its almost obsessing me! funny how the human imagination works! i think i need sorters to classify my boxes ;) cause i cannot just have a certain number of ideas.

I need a lab like Alexander Graham Bell set up in Baddeck, N.S. where he would invite scientists to work on wacky stuff. Check out the following link and scroll down a bit to know what I'm talking about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baddeck,_Nova_Scotia ok ... so this has nothing to do with music .. but hey i wish I had boxes. that would be neat and tidy. my brain is like a huge pile of strainers … ideas get poured in but then they slowly leak out and mix with others. it never ends.

Now I know how to put all those ideas in my head so they won't run rampage. I haven't made an attempt to count them but I don't think they go up to 15 at one time. Or I hope not....that'll be hard to keep track. I don't know how you do it, but I suppose those boxes and the web help. Do you find you can manage to complete all those ideas that pop up, or do some of them just evolve into something else or dissipate away?? So far, I can't seem to make every idea I have be created, only some get to see the light of day. Interesting idea, David! Now I know how to put all those ideas in my head so they won’t run rampage.
