I hate this

[yurana]

I’m walking somewhere and I have all these thoughts in my head that want to be written down into a blog post or a story or whatever. Like, I cannot stop myself from formulating long paragraphs about whatever.
And then I sit down to actually write the thing and it’s all like... what are words even? How do you language?

Oh my God, is this the common way?
I feel the same, I always have a notebook on me (and my phone's note app is a mess) and I constantly try to write down the scenes, concepts I come up with. But when I go to sort these snippets out, they've lost some magic and I look at them wondering, what on earth I was thinking about...

I don’t know if it is common, but it definitely happens to me a lot. I have some idea and think it’s so insightful and everyone should know about it and then i write it down and suddenly it’s complete garbage.

I started using Google Keep for these moments but it's not always an option.
