As a creative person, you may struggle to find time with your family and education obligations.
All creative people spend some time of their shedule to write.
Try to schedule a regular time when you can be alone with your thoughts.
Half an hour after dinner or during the lunch hour or a walk in the afternoon.
You could find time.
Misty mornings, lonley evenings encourage your mental wanderings.
No idea is too small or too big. It is not cracy. Write them down as they come.
Many small ideas lead to a really big idea.
You can start with as little as 10 minutes at a time .

Do not be fooled into thinking that you will remember your ideas later.
You will forget if you do not write them down.
Once written you can rewise them.
Write down ideas when they are fresh in your mind.
Write them down with as much depth, clarity and context as you can.
Develop a thread. It doesn't have to be in order.
You can order them later.
Many a great idea has been lost by neglecting to write it down.
Creativity is a process, accumulation of small ideas become a bigger one.
Small ideas come from our unique experiences and perspectives.
They grow and develop when we make the time to follow where they lead.
We write our ideas down so that we may revisit and develop them at a later date.
We are all capable of having great ideas.But many not good at writing them down.

So write your ideas.

The truth is that our experiences shape our views, our thoughts, our dreams and our ideas. You don't have to be an expert player to write about football.

Beginning of a story setting, developing a character, a feeling or even an opening line are things drawn from our own personal experiences.
