Does anyone have 조언 for an inspiring writer who suffers from a short term memory?

I would suggest make sure 당신 always have a note pad with 당신 for ideas. Once started on a story map out the story first then once 당신 have written a bit print it out 또는 at least note in your note pad what 당신 have put. so 당신 can refer to it when ever 당신 need. hope this makes sense.

I suffer from the same problem. Usually before I start a story, I map out the story's details, maybe make profiles of the characters just as a reference for when I start writing. 당신 could always add to the list when something big comes up in your story. ^^

i also get distracted easily but I always remind myself of what happiness it will bring to others when they read my stories! so i keep on writing!

Whenever I have too many distractions to acutally write a story, I just write short stories. 당신 could plot out a character, 또는 a few, and feature them with many different subplots, that way it's still one idea [the character(s)], but 당신 don't have to always remember the details 또는 plot of the story because 당신 have small ones.

i have similar issues like stated before i recommend 당신 carry a legal pad around everywhere keep one in your car,by your bed,and with your stuff like a bag if 당신 carry one to write down the ideas as soon as 당신 get them. For at the computer i recommend 당신 give Dragon software a try just say what your thinking and it will write it for 당신 and if 당신 like that method 당신 could try carrying a tape recorder and several extra tapes around with 당신 to speak what your current inspiration is and then 당신 can revert back to them later.
I use the legal pad very often i went threw 3 last semester and 5 in the summer.
Something 당신 can try when 당신 don't have anything around (like if your at the pool) try committing it to memory threw making a little movie in your head that 당신 rerun often 또는 something like that also 당신 could try telling someone your idea and ask them to remember it

which ever method 당신 use i hope 당신 get your inspiration down

Maybe this will help you?
