Phoenix Wright Cosplay
Phoenix Wright is a defense attorney and a major character in the first three games, as well as being a secondary character in Apollo Justice. In his childhood, he befriended Larry Butz and Miles Edgeworth. He was accused of murder while studying in college, but was successfully defended by Mia Fey. He eventually joined up with Mia's office. After Mia was murdered, Phoenix inherited the office, renaming it "Wright and Co.", and continued his work as a defense attorney. He is typically seen wearing a blue suit with a white shirt and red tie. In the courtroom, Phoenix was known for wildly guessing at the truth, allowing him to "turnabout" the court to his favor.

Exploring virtual worlds for scenario-based repeated team training of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in medical students
Creutzfeldt J et al, J Med Internet Res, 12(3)
Contemporary learning technologies, such as massively multiplayer virtual worlds (MMVW), create new means for teaching and training. However, knowledge about the effectiveness of such training is incomplete, and there are no data regarding how students experience it. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a field within medicine in high demand for new and effective training modalities.

Joe from Ohio
Absolutely the best sonic quality of any 6-1/2" component set I've ever owned... and I've owned many brands and models. JBL should consider un-discontinuing this product... but perhaps with less functionally-extraneous packaging to reduce the cost. a bit.

JJDu4 from MS
I've had a lot of different component sets and some costing 3-4 times these JBL's but these are simply the best set of 6 1/2's made!! JBL/Harmon knows how to build audio equipment that is second to none. The DIYMA forums tests speakers through Klippel testing and the JBL 660GTi 6 1/2's performed at the top of the list!! These absolutely rock! You won't be disappointed in these components I promise. I just bought two sets since the price dropped and so should you!!!

Timmy from Gold Coast / Queensland, Australia
... then these speakers are the ones for you. Amazing, crisp sound quality.
Best I've ever heard. I listen mostly to trance - and these speakers do this particular style of music such incredible justice!
The design stays true to JBL's continuing mission of providing workmanship second to none. They have yet to be properly tuned to my remaining car audio - but currently I catch next to NO distortion. Assured that once I tune them - I will receive none whatsoever. Granted, its imperative to pair these with a correctly rated amp.
I look very much forward to when I next get behind the wheel - as the music I choose to play - regardless of volume - is reproduced to the same exacting standards that its creator intended.

Review by
LYNN from MECHANICSBURG, PA
I've had these speakers in my Charger for over one year and have yet to find a system that sounds as good as it. One of the woofers went out with a bad voice coil and Sonic Electronix hooked me up with a replacement woofer. The clarity and seperation are superb. The only negative of having a audiophile quality system is that I can definitely hear how poorly some CDs are mastered. I am using the Pioneer Premier P800 PRS head unit and two Stage 4 PRS A900 amps. I have the speakers bi-amped and have the crossovers set in the neutral setting. I have been using JBL speakers exclusively since 1975.

Amazing speakers. I have had seven pairs of components and these by far are the best I have ever owned. I compete in car audio. No one will touch my scores with me running these speakers.

t0030tr from Macomb, MI
I originally attempted to purchase 2 pairs of Boston Acoustic's SPZ60's. Fortunately the 2nd pair was on back order and in haste and slight wincing at the cost, I purchased a pair of the JBL 660Gti's for rear fill. Well, there is really no comparison between these speakers and although the SPZ's are very nice speakers, the JBL's are on a completely different level in sound reproduction. I sold the SPZ's and replaced them with another set of JBL 660Gti's. These speakers sound amazing.

Review by
Chris from Nepean, Canada
I had a pair of MB Quart 6.5 components in my vehicle that I thought sounded great but..... they lacked the umph that a speaker should have when you really wanted it. I heard about the 660GTi speakers from JBL and decided to give them a try. I'm utterly shocked at the sound quality they give out - even at loud volumes!! Absolutely zero distortion and amazing performance. After tweaking of amps and deck, I've never hear a speaker give out more than I expected!!! Well done JBL!!! Bit expensive, but still worth it in the end!!!

Public Enemy # 1 from Vancouver, Canada
Put these speakers in the front of my GMC Sierra and they kick ass! A little pricey and only used the actually speakers so I have lots of accessories left over. Just had my system tuned up and now that they are broken in I can really crank my stereo up. They sound great loud and I love it loud. Great for me. Bad for everyone else who doesn't like my music. Too bad for them.

SternSound from Las Vegas, NV
This is a Professional Speaker. Meaning its sounds like a pair of studio monitors. They are without a doubt the best sounding speakers you can get at this price. They are very revealing and you will hear everything, including all the crappy recordings and crappy mp3's. Make sure you use a high quality source with these and have them tuned properly for your vehicle.
I work in high-end home audio and have ran car audio shops for many years. Nothing I have heard in this price compares. If you are looking at these, that means you like your sound. Pull the trigger and jump in!

WOW super clear and powerful no distortion at super high listening levels, beautiful imaging, had Focal Utopia 3-ways and these blew them away! Great high end speakers and crossover, true audiophile component set. Use a pioneer DEH-80PRS head unit with these and they sound amazing.

This activity uses a mix of multimedia resources and hands-on activities to support a storyline of investigation into melting sea ice. The lesson begins with a group viewing of a video designed to get students to consider both the local and global effects of climate change. The class then divides into small groups for inquiry activities on related topics followed by a presentation of the findings to the entire class. A final class discussion reveals a more complex understanding of both the local and global impacts of melting sea ice.
The activity follows a progression that examines the CO2 content of various gases, explores the changes in the atmospheric levels of CO2 from 1958 to 2000 from the Mauna Loa Keeling curve, and the relationship between CO2 and temperature over the past 160,000 years. This provides a foundation for examining individuals' input of CO2 to the atmosphere and how to reduce it.
This activity engages learners in exploring the impact of climate change on arctic sea ice in the Bering Sea. They graph and analyze sea ice extent data, conduct a lab on thermal expansion of water, and then observe how a scientist collects long-term data on a bird population.
This is a five-activity module that explores the evidence for and impacts of melting glacial ice, with resources from major institutions and scientists who study glaciers -- primarily in Arctic areas. The suite of activities includes both glaciers and melting ice, as well as the impact of melt water downstream. Each activity follows the 5E model of Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and Evaluation.
This activity students through the ways scientists monitor changes in Earth's glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets. Students investigate about glacier locations, glacial movement, and impacts of climate change on glaciers depending on the depth of research. It is linked to 2009 PBS Nova program entitled Extreme Ice.
A simple three-part diagram from UNEP GRID Vital Water Graphics showing what the impact of global warming will be on projected coastlines and populated areas of Bangladesh with a 1 and 1.5 m sea level rise relative to the current coastline.
Bell Telephone Science Hour produced this video in 1958, explaining how the production of CO2 from factories and automobiles is causing the atmosphere to warm, melting the polar ice caps, and causing the sea level to rise.
This video from a 2005 NOVA program features scientists who study how the Jakobshavn Isbrae glacier in western Greenland is shrinking and moving faster due to increased melting over the past ten years. The video includes footage of scientists in the field explaining methods and animation of ice sheet dynamics leading to faster glacier movement.
This interactive map from National Geographic shows selected geographic locations for a number of impacts of global warming (on freshwater resources, food and forests, ecosystems, etc). Impact overview is summarized for each highlighted impact.
C-Learn is a simplified version of the C-ROADS simulator. Its primary purpose is to help users understand the long-term climate effects (CO2 concentrations, global temperature, sea level rise) of various customized actions to reduce fossil fuel CO2 emissions, reduce deforestation, and grow more trees. Students can ask multiple, customized what-if questions and understand why the system reacts as it does.

In her book Who Stole Feminism? How Women Have Betrayed Women, Christina Hoff Sommers sounds the alarm. "American feminism is currently dominated by a group of women who seek to persuade the public that American women are not the free creatures we think we are," she writes. Such feminists have "alienated and silenced women and men alike." Where once there were Reds under the bed, now there is the Fem Menace by every blackboard: "These consciousness-raisers are driving out the scholars on many campuses." Unlike the "well adjusted" women of the 19th Century "first wave" of feminism, "gender feminists" (as […]

Fluidity and motion are what we experience in real life. The best moments are split seconds in time when we careen aimlessly like tumbleweed, and suddenly realize, with stunning clarity, that you are going somewhere. Usually, for me, these moments come with a soundtrack. So my ability to quickly access music should be able to keep up with my journey.

During this year's annual I/O conference, Google revealed Material Design, a responsive design language that aims to unify all their products, platforms, and devices. Google's promotional video amplifies the compelling theory of a rationalized space and system of motion found in Material. Videos like this are common in the industry, and are often made using Adobe After Effects -- a very powerful video, motion graphics, and compositing application. As an interaction designer working at frog, I am tasked with communicating to clients how a system works and what an application looks and feels like. Producing a high fidelity animated video like the one Google created for Material is certainly a possibility, but it often requires additional time, scoping, and resources. Instead, I use Keynote because you can tell the same story just as effectively in much less time.

.- The executive committee of the Bishops' Conference of Argentina has called on the National Parliament to protect authentic marriage based on the union between one man and one woman.
"To affirm heterosexuality as a requirement for marriage is not to discriminate, but rather to start from an objective point that is its presupposition. The contrary would be to ignore its essence, that is, that which it is," the bishops said.
The heterosexuality of marriage is not a private matter or religious choice, they stressed, "but a reality that has its roots in the very nature of the human person, who is male and female."
The bishops recalled that this natural reality precedes positive law, and for this reason it is the duty of lawmakers to legally protect marriage, which is the foundation of the family. Both, they said, have been protected from the very beginnings of humanity by civilized society.
The Argentinian bishops then affirmed that the diversity and reciprocity between man and woman becomes even "the foundation for a healthy and necessary sexual education."
"It would not be possible to educate boys or girls about sexuality without a clear understanding of the sexual meaning or language of the body. These aspects that refer to sexual diversity and to the beginnings of life were always taken into consideration as a basis for legislation when defining the essence and purpose of marriage," the bishops said.
For this reason, the bishops urged that marriage be protected as "a good of humanity" and that sincere dialogue take place amidst "the difficult task of legislating on these issues."

The statute of limitations for a wrongful death action varies depending on which state of the United States (US) the death occurred within, and can range anywhere from six months to three years. In addition to the general statute of limitations regarding filing a course of action for wrongful death, there are also certain restrictions and exceptions made to some statutes regarding specific situations. Generally, a lawyer within the state where the wrongful death occurred should be contacted, and any action should be filed as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity to pursue legal action.
In the US, a wrongful death action is a civil case in which select family members of a person who was killed or who died due to someone else's actions sue the person for damages due to the death. Unlike a criminal case of murder or homicide, a wrongful death action only needs to be proven by a "preponderance of the evidence" rather than "beyond a reasonable doubt." This means that situations can arise where a person is found not guilty of a criminal action but is convicted in civil court for the same offense. Some states, however, have passed laws that require that a person must be convicted of a criminal offense before a wrongful death action may be brought against him or her.
The actual statute of limitations for a wrongful death action, which is the time period in which the action must be filed, varies from state to state and can change based on the situation. For example, Arizona, California, and Alabama all require that a wrongful death action must be filed within two years of the date of the person's death. In California, however, there is an exception made for death due to exposure to asbestos. The statute of limitations for such deaths is one year from when the death occurred or one year from when a plaintiff knew that asbestos caused the death, whichever is later.
This type of exception is referred to as a "discovery rule" and allows for the statute of limitations to be extended in situations where the full knowledge of what caused a wrongful death was not immediately known. In the state of Washington, the statute of limitations for wrongful death is three years, and in Colorado it is two years from the date of death. Colorado, however, has an exception for death caused by the use of a motor vehicle, which extends the statute of limitations to three years. These various exceptions, additions, and "discovery rules" can make fully understanding the statute of limitations for a particular state difficult to determine, and a legal professional should be consulted immediately by anyone interested in filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

How to Develop Your Best Novel Writing Ideas
Writing a novel is no small task. In fact, it's a momentous task. Some writers spend years just eking out a first draft, followed by years of revisions. And that's before they even think about the grueling publishing process.
In other words, you're going to spend a lot of time with your novel. So you better love it. No, wait–loving it is not enough. You have to be in love with it. You have to be obsessed with it.
And obsessions cannot be forced. It's normal to lose interest when you're on your tenth revision, but if you're losing interest in your plot or characters while writing your first or second draft, the problem may not be you or your novel. The problem may be that you tried to commit to something you didn't love. That's never a good idea.
For many writers, the trick to sticking with a novel is actually quite simple: find an idea that grips you. Read more
How to Prioritize Your Writing Ideas
There are always too many writing ideas or not enough of them.
Some days, we writers are so overwhelmed with ideas, it's impossible to get anything done. Should you work on your novel? That essay you're writing for your favorite magazine? You have an original premise for a short story. And you feel a poem coming on.
Other days, we just can't find any inspiration. Read more
How to Come Up With Writing Ideas When Your Muse is on Vacation
Have you ever sat down to start a new writing project and then realized an hour later you were still sitting there, staring idly at the blank page?
Sometimes writing ideas don't come easy.
In a writer's ideal world, the blank page is something we always look forward to, a fresh canvas that we can color with ideas and texture with language. When our muse is dancing around, we feel motivated and inspired, so that blank page feels like the start of an exciting adventure.
But if our mind isn't in the right place, if our muse is on vacation, that same page is nothing but a source of frustration.
When I became a professional copywriter, I had to learn how to write whether the muse was present or not. You know how muses are, fleeting little hooligans. I couldn't rely on mine all the time. So I learned how to get along without her. That meant coming up with my own creative writing ideas. Read more
Borrowing, Stealing, and Building Upon Other People's Writing Ideas
From epic romances to fantastical adventures, stories have been captivating audiences for centuries, and they have been inspiring writers (and other artists) for just as long.
There is a longstanding tradition among storytellers of reimagining or extending the greatest legends, myths, and fairy tales ever told, from the greek classics to last summer's blockbuster films.
Certainly, many derivative works are frowned upon. You can find lists of authors who do not allow (and pursue legal action against) stories written in their worlds. You can find reviews that call such stories rip-offs or refer to authors as hacks who have done nothing more than steal someone else's writing ideas.
But you can also find some impressive and respectable derivative works in films, novels, and television. In fact, many derivative works are embraced, beloved, and achieve critical and commercial success, plus massive fan followings.
So, when is it acceptable to use other people's writing ideas? Why do some of these stories get heavily criticized while others are widely celebrated? Read more
Questions, Curiosity, and Writing Ideas
Even though writing ideas abound all around us, we writers sometimes get stumped.
We search for topics, plot ideas, models for our characters, and interesting language. Unfortunately, our searches don't always yield desirable results.
But by fostering curiosity, we can ensure a constant stream of inspiration.
Some of the best writing ideas come from simply asking questions: Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?
By using these interrogative pronouns to trigger your curiosity, you can develop questions–questions that need answers. And your answers will lead you to new writing ideas. Read more
How to Collect Writing Ideas While You're Procrastinating Online
I love the web. In fact, I think it's the single greatest invention of the twentieth century. It allows people to meet, connect, conduct business, and gather information quickly and easily, all from the comfort of…well, anywhere. It's also an entertainment mecca. All that art! Music! Films! Literature! And games.
The web is an enormous resource center, playground, and time suck.
We've all been there: You hop on the web to look up a quick fact, check your email, or post an update to one of your (many) social media profiles. But what was supposed to be a two-minute action item stretches into a two-hour adventure as you click through an endless stretch of videos, articles, and Lolcats.
I Can Haz Writing Ideas wit My Cheezburger
Distractions affect everybody but writers are especially susceptible. As we sit crafting our prose, sometimes the muse escapes us and we're tempted to venture away from our writing to find her again. The strongest among us will be able to resist the alluring pull of the Internet's dazzling distractions. But most of us, in moments of great weakness and in times of desperate procrastination, will succumb to the clicking, often forgetting about the muse completely.
Now, I'm not going to encourage anyone to dawdle. But a little procrastination can be helpful. In fact, I've come up with lots of great ideas for blog posts while watching interviews on YouTube. I've concocted story ideas from images I perused on iStockPhoto. Tweets on Twitter have inspired poems. There is no limit to the writing ideas that can be found while randomly surfing around the Internet.
Mostly, I'm pretty good about restraining from distractions, but when I do succumb, I put procrastination to work for me!
I Made a Stash File
As I navigate around the internet while avoiding inevitable tasks, I come across fascinating stuff–stuff I'd like to use–but later (because, you know, right now I'm working on something, sort of). I used to use my web browser to bookmark interesting sites so I could revisit them later. Eventually I switched to social bookmarking. I was starring articles in my reader and using StumbleUpon.
Things started getting spread out. If I wanted to go back to an illustration of an alien I saw three months ago or a mesmerizing poem I found a few weeks back, I might have to scroll through all my browser bookmarks, and then log in to three or four different accounts looking for the item of interest. The system wasn't working for me.
Then I made a stash file.
Sometimes the Simplest Solutions Are the Best
It started with a text file. I found a particular site that I wanted to use as inspiration for a poem, but I didn't want to lose the URL or forget where I'd stored it. So, I opened my text editor. I copied and pasted the URL along with a quick note to myself and saved the file to my desktop. Later, when I was ready, I knew exactly where to find it.
I started using that same file for other writing ideas that I found online. Then, I decided to expand my stash file. I created a folder on my desktop and moved the text file into it. Now I could save images to the folder. But for some of the images, I wanted to make notes. So I added a Word document to the folder (Word lets you copy and paste images directly to the document).
Now my stash file is bustling with writing ideas. I still use my other bookmarking systems, but for ideas and inspiration, I strictly use my stash file, and I love it. Sure, paper notebooks feel like home, but when you're collecting ideas in the digital realm, you need a digital way to store them. I mean, who wants to hand-write URLs?
Tips for Stashing Your Collection of Ideas and Inspiration
You'll need the following:
- A desktop folder containing a text file and an MS Word file
- The ability to copy and paste
- Some time to waste
Over time, I've found a few ways to make this little system quite effective. For example, once I use an idea, I can delete it. This keeps the files short and easy to peruse. I've also thought about creating a third document that I can label "used ideas." Then, I can just move stuff to that document and it will be there in case I need to refer back to it later.
My favorite feature in this system is that I can easily search through the material to quickly find what I'm looking for. It doesn't matter if my documents grow to 10 pages or 100 pages because I use the Find feature. That's when you hit command-F (control-F for Windows users) and then enter a word or phrase to search for. Within seconds I can find an item that's buried in a document. Easy as pie.
How Do You Harvest and Store Writing Ideas?
I'm always looking for efficient ways to keep track of all the great writing ideas I come across. How do you do it?
How to Harvest Creative Writing Ideas from the News
Creative people are always looking for inspiration and writers are certainly no exception.
We look to the people in our lives, to nature, and to the books, music, and films that we love. We call on our muses, we doodle, and we daydream. We record our dreams, meditate, and contemplate. And we do all of these things in an attempt to find breakthrough creative writing ideas.
But we really need look no further than our local news stand, where creative writing ideas are aplenty.
Open up a newspaper, turn on the news, or surf over to your favorite news website. Guess what you'll find? Stories. Lots and lots of stories. And lots of writing ideas.
Characters and People
The news is full of colorful characters, from the lowliest criminal to the most glamorous business executive. Local heroes, big-time politicians, sports stars, and pop culture celebrities all mingle together in the pages of your daily rag. Be sure to check the society pages and the obituaries and let these inspire your character creations. If you're looking for really far out figures, try one of the tabloids or scandal sheets. You can turn these people into characters in your fiction writing or you can zero in on them as real individuals and write a piece of nonfiction–an essay, an article, or even a biography.
I'm one of those writers who can whip up a character in no time, but coming up with a plot wreaks havoc on my creativity. Newspapers are filled with all kinds of interesting plots and writing ideas for fiction. Look to small town papers for quaint stories that are usually overlooked by mainstream media. Large, urban papers will carry national interest bits. And many periodicals off the beaten path contain tales of the unusual, paranormal, and fantastical, which can be pretty useful for writers of science fiction and fantasy.
The newspapers are full of quotes, and where there are none, you can surely make up your own. Since dialogue is driven by character and plot, you can simply delve into the goings-on of any news story and start imagining what these people would say to one another.
Setting and Imagery
Don't forget about the photos and other images! You can turn to a magazine if it's a locale you're seeking. National Geographic or any travel magazine will give you a sense of setting and compelling imagery that can provoke a poem. You'll pick up interesting phrases like "down by the levee," or "at the railroad junction," which you may have not otherwise considered.
Are you writing a period piece? The local library is stocked with archives of old papers and other publications that you can review and photocopy. Not only will you find creative writing ideas for character, plot, and setting, you'll also pick up lingo and other period details.
Creative Writing Ideas Are All Over the News
When you want to sit down and write, don't wait for inspiration to strike. Make it happen. The news is jam-packed with creative writing ideas, and all you need to do is season it with a little imagination and your next piece will be simmering in no time.
Here are a few final tips:
- Get writing ideas from the news online, in print, or on TV
- Check magazines and periodicals
- Watch documentaries

Where Do You Find Ideas for Writing?
I used to actively look for writing ideas. When I wanted to write a story, I would search my mind, brainstorm, and ask questions that I thought would lead to something I wanted to write about.
I still do all that, but over the past few years, I've also cultivated a more passive approach to my search for writing ideas.
Nowadays, I am always open to new ideas for writing. Whether I'm chatting with a friend, surfing the web, or watching a movie, I've got this little radar in my mind that's constantly on the lookout for ideas that I can use in my stories.
What I've learned is that many of my ideas come from the same sources whether I'm actively looking for them or passively bumping into them. Today, I thought I'd share some of my favorite sources of inspiration and invite you share yours as well.
Ideas for Writing
These are good sources of inspiration whether you're writing fiction, poetry, or nonfiction and whether you're actively or passively seeking ideas for writing stories:
- Old books, movies, and TV shows: More often than not, I find something that I thought was my own original idea when I'm reading or watching movies or television. But sometimes, I'll come across a fresh element that would work in one of my stories. Sometimes it's a simple plot device or storytelling technique. Other times, it's a setting, a name, or some detail, like an article of clothing.
- Pinterest (and other social media sites): The Internet is a dangerous place for writers, with all its temptations and distractions, but it's also a great place to do research and dig around for writing ideas. I love scrolling through images on Pinterest and often come across images that could prompt entire stories.
- The news: Most of what I gather from the news doesn't inspire a story specifically but some of what I see happening in the world makes its way into my story ideas as themes or backdrops. I think this adds realism to a story's setting. Sometimes, reading the news helps me understand the way the world works a little better, and that's always good for adding realism to a piece of fiction, especially when the government or military is involved, which is the case with the novel I'm working on now. My most recent treasure from the news was the name of my protagonist, which is what incited an entire novel.
- Technology: In 2005, I got a new cell phone, an iPod, and a digital camera. I remember staring at these three devices and thinking that, as miraculous as they were, they should really be encompassed in a single device. I sketched a story idea about it (which I never wrote). Just three years later, I bought my first iPhone. Now, I stare at it, wondering what this technology will look like in ten, twenty, a hundred years, and I get tons of ideas for writing. I also follow several science and technology blogs for the express purpose of getting ideas for writing in the science fiction genre. Lots of what I've seen there appears in my work in progress.
- The people around me: With people, I usually pick up small details, like the way someone walks, a facial expression, an article of clothing, or a figure of speech. And then there's my niece, who's always inventing words, names, and characters. One day, she and I made up a character and a week later, I'd written a children's book.
Sometimes, I pick up ideas from these sources without even realizing it. One night, I watched a movie with a treacherous high-ranking military officer as the antagonist. A few weeks later, a treacherous high-ranking officer in the military appeared in a story I was writing. It wasn't until a few days later that I realized where I'd gotten the idea. Not that it's original–such characters appear in lots of stories.
Where Do You Get Ideas For Writing?
Do you use an active or passive approach to searching for writing ideas? Both? Do you keep an idea notebook? Have you ever nicked an idea from a book, movie, or TV show without realizing it? What are some of the best ideas you've gotten from the world around you?
How to Save Your Best Writing Ideas
Doesn't it seem like the best writing ideas come at the most inconvenient times?
It happens when you're driving, in the shower, or eating dinner at a restaurant. Unfortunately, you're not sitting in front of your computer and even if you were, you don't always have time to stop what you're doing to make notes about your latest writing ideas.
But nobody wants to lose a truly great writing idea either – so how do we save them before we forget them?
If your idea light bulb likes to shine while your hands are tied or when you're away from your usual writing tools, then I have some tips to help you make sure you don't lose your most creative writing ideas.
Five Tips That Will Prevent You from Losing Your Best Writing Ideas
- Mini-Notebooks: They're cheap and small enough to stash everywhere: on your nightstand, in your purse, pocket, car, or desk drawer at work. Keep a pen or pencil with each one. Just make sure you don't jot anything down while driving. It only takes a couple of minutes to pull over, write down your notes, and be back on your way.
- Voice Recorder: Keeping a voice recorder on you at all times is another great way to make sure that no matter where you are (or what you're doing), you have a way to record your writing ideas. Perfect for the car, a recorder is an ideal way to get a little writing done or capture your most brilliant thoughts. Writers have used mini-cassette recorders for years, but now digital recorders are plentiful and affordable. Plus, many smart phones and mp3 players now come with voice recording capabilities. Speaking of cell phones…
- Voice mail: If you're stuck somewhere without a notebook, then just give yourself a call. As long as you have access to a phone, you can leave yourself a voicemail and make sure that your best writing ideas don't disappear among the millions of thoughts you're having during the day. Plus, you can call your mobile phone, home phone, or work phone!
- Bulletin Boards, Baskets, and Boxes: If you're one of those people who jots down notes on scrap paper and napkins, this is the perfect way to collect your thoughts. By setting aside a bulletin board, basket, box, or other container, you will have a place to deposit your scraps and scribbles. This will help you stay organized and you'll always know where to look when you're trying to dig up one of your latest, greatest writing ideas.
- Just a Pen: As long as we're talking about napkins and notes, keep in mind that most of the time a pen is all you really need. There are materials to write on just about everywhere and in a pinch, even a square of toilet paper will do. If you have your trusty pen on your person, you probably won't have to look too long or far for something to write on. You might want to go with a Sharpie though; it will open up a whole new world of writing surfaces, like thick cardboard boxes, but hey — stay away from bathroom walls!
Most writers have lost dozens if not hundreds of writing ideas just because they had a stroke of genius at a most inopportune time. But that doesn't have to happen to you. As long as you're prepared at all times, your writing ideas will stay safe and sound!

Tools for Capturing Your Ideas in Writing
Have you ever been overwhelmed with writing ideas, and you didn't know what to do with all of them? Have you ever had a brilliant idea at a bad time, like when you're driving? How do you capture and keep track of your ideas?
There are myriad ways to capture and organize your ideas in writing. While it may seem obvious that if you have a good idea, you should write it down so you don't forget about it, all those ideas can pile up. You may find yourself searching through notes, trying to find an idea you had that you want to use. You might kick yourself for failing to write down the details of an idea that you've now forgotten.
Fortunately, there are plenty of tools for capturing ideas in writing. All you have to do is find the tools that work for you and develop a system that you can comfortably use for organizing and tracking your writing ideas.
Tools for Capturing Ideas in Writing
I've experimented with most of these tools and found that I gravitate toward a tool depending on the nature of the project. I like to keep fiction ideas in a notebook but I prefer index cards for nonfiction.
You might want to use two or three tools to keep things simple or maybe you work better with a wider range of tools, which allow you to capture different types of ideas. For example, an app like Evernote allows you to create lists, text documents, and grab images from the web whereas index cards allow you to capture ideas that you can later rearrange into a logical order.
You probably already use some of these tools. Consider experimenting with the ones you haven't used to see if they suit your creative style:
- Brainstorming: you can brainstorm on paper or on a computer. Brainstorming is not for capturing random ideas–it's a session in which you generate as many ideas as possible and record them so you can later refine them. Literature and Latte (the makers of the wildly popular writing software, Scrivener) recently produced a brainstorming app called Scapple, which is available for the Mac. I've already started using Scapple and I love it!
- Mind mapping: like brainstorming, mind mapping is done in a session. It's similar to brainstorming except ideas are captured using a specific visual method in which there's a central idea and clusters of closely related ideas within the greater topic. Wikipedia has an article on mind mapping, which includes visual examples.
- Index cards: simple and practical for capturing ideas either randomly or in a session, index cards are compact and easy to carry around. They also allow you to rearrange ideas and group them in stacks, which is ideal for putting scenes or concepts in chronological or logical order. They're also great for summarizing scenes and chapters.
- Sticky notes: I prefer index cards to sticky notes because I can stack and store them, but sticky notes work well with brainstorming, mind mapping, and capturing random ideas, which you can stick to your desk, wall, or bulletin board for later use. They're perfect for jotting down notes that you later want to stick into a notebook (without having to transcribe from one tool to another). If you use a Mac, it comes with an app called Stickies, which allows you to create electronic sticky notes for your desktop.
- Journal or notebook: for me, nothing beats a trusty notebook. They come in various shapes and sizes and you can get different notebooks for different projects or use a single notebook just for recording ideas. Many writers feel that the tactile nature of working with a pen and notebook enhances creativity. It also allows for drawing, doodling, and creating charts or lists in an organic fashion.
- Evernote: I've had Evernote for years but only recently started using it and I love it! Evernote allows you to create text, audio, and video files, plus you can clip content directly from the web. You install Evernote on your computer and smart devices and here's where it gets awesome: Evernote automatically syncs to the cloud. So if you audio record an idea on your smart phone, you can access it later from your computer, where it's easier to move notes to bigger projects in Word or Scrivener. The app is available for Mac or PC and every device imaginable, and it's free.
- Scrivener: In word processing software, Scrivener is quickly becoming the new industry standard for authors. Scrivener is to Microsoft Word what Microsoft Word was to the typewriter–a major improvement. It would take forever to list all the perks and benefits of using Scrivener, but I'll mention a couple of highlights, including keeping chapters, images, notes, outlines, and research in a single file instead of having to manage various documents. Scrivener also has output to .mobi and .epub file types, which is awesome for self publishers. Plus, you have nothing to lose since there's a 30-day free trial. Scrivener is available for Mac and Windows and they have an iPad app in the works.
- A Novel Idea: this is an app I recently discovered, so I'm still experimenting with it but basically, it is a text tool that includes guides to help you develop ideas. For example, you can create a character, and the app includes fields for name, age, gender, height, build, and more. It's basically a collection of electronic worksheets. The categories inclue novels, scenes, characters, locations, and ideas. A Novel Idea is free (there's also a paid, ad-free version) for iPhone and iPad.
- Audio recordings and dictation: several times, I've found myself full of great ideas while driving. I used to call myself and leave a voice mail but now I use an audio recording app called iTalk Recorder. It's available for the iPhone and iPad, but you can find voice recording apps for any device and of course, your computer probably has recording capabilities built right in. For example, on my Mac, I just hit the "fn" key twice from within most programs, and it will take dictation.

How to Transform Words Into Writing Ideas
I recently got a copy of Susan Goldsmith Wooldridge's Poemcrazy: Freeing Your Life with Words, and after just a couple of chapters, my imagination was on fire.
I'm always looking for new ways to inspire writing ideas, and lately I've been thinking that we should talk more about a writer's most basic building blocks: words. So, using words as a way to come up with writing ideas sounded ideal to me.
In Poemcrazy, Wooldridge talks about collecting words. She captures words, stores them, and then stashes them in all kinds of interesting places where they might come in handy.
As I read about how this brilliant poet gathers words so she can use them to jump-start her creative writing, I saw how the idea could apply to any kind of writer, not just a poet. I also saw how physically collecting words could be exhilarating.
After all, words are the key ingredients to every concoction that we writers cook up. Some writers view words as means to an end — they're the raw materials and nothing more. Then there are those writers who appreciate a wonderful word, writers who pause when they come across a word that's compelling in its own right, a word that moves or grooves even if it's just sitting there all by itself.
Chasing and Capturing Words
As Woodridge says, we can borrow, trade, steal, even invent words for our own pleasure. To find words, you have to pay attention. You'll discover them in your environment (around the house or when you're out and about), in conversations, in your reading material, on TV, and in the songs you listen to. They are the labels we use for ordinary objects, extraordinary moments, and anything unusual.
I plucked eviscerate from a favorite R.E.M. song. Arbitrary came from a television show. Humma humma — something my mom used to say when I was a kid (it means ho hum or that's hot). Wooldridge's favorite method is to take walks and grab words from nature or from field guides. She notes, "My friend Tom's Ford pickup repair manual is chock full of great words: luminosity probe, diesel throttle, control tool, acceleration pump link, swivel, internal vent valve, choke hinge pin…"
Once you attune yourself to all the words you come into contact with every day, you need a place to stash the ones that speak to you. Jot them down in your journal, on index cards, or sticky notes. Use postcards, gift tags, or scrap paper. Lots of these are easy to tote around (a friend of Wooldridge's always tucks a few index cards in her back pocket). Be sure to carry a pen.
Tip: You don't always have to write your words down. If you find words in a magazine or newspaper, just cut them out and then you can tape them to your journal, note cards, or sticky notes.
Storing and Stashing Words
If you're a word-crazy writer, your word collection will grow rapidly. What are you going to do with all those words? Woodridge keeps a few in her purse, a couple on her desk, some special favorites in a cloth bag. I keep envisioning a big, round glass fishbowl filled with colorful cards, each with a choice word scrawled on it in various colors of ink.
You could keep them in a tin, a basket, a bucket. Toss them into a drawer or slip them into an envelope. Tuck them into your journal.
The idea is to make the process fun. I've actually never seen the fun in collecting anything other than books and music, but words are a collectible that I can really get behind.
Using Words for Writing Ideas
The human mind is a funny thing. Ever notice how annoying, unsavory, or unwelcome memories pop into your brain at the most inopportune moments? Or how sometimes, when you sit down to write, you suddenly have absolutely nothing to say. We've all experienced the frustrating phenomenon of having a word on the "tip of our tongues." You know the word, you know what it means. You even have a general sense of how it sounds. But you just can't remember it!
With your word collection, you'll have plenty of words at your disposal. Words that will inspire a writing session or provide the perfect adjective when that other one that you wanted to use can't get past the tip of your tongue.
When you're ready to create, just pull out your collection and start building. Grab a handful of words, put them in an order that interests you, maybe add a few new words to the mix (off the top of your head or from beyond the tip of your tongue), and then make something out of them. It doesn't have to a be a poem or an essay or a story. It's a collection of words. Your collection.
I'm only a few pages into the book, but I'm already loving every word in Poemcrazy, so stay tuned for a fuller review of this awesome little book on writing and creativity. In the meantime, get out there and start collecting some words and let them provide you with fresh writing ideas. You're going to need them!
How to Use Pinterest for Writing Ideas and Inspiration
Over the years, I've used various systems for organizing and storing my writing ideas.
Of course, I keep notebooks and journals, which are great for keeping track of my own ideas and not so great for storing ideas I collect out in the world–materials culled from blogs, magazines, websites, and other mediums.
I've created folders on my hard drive for storing images I find online. I've had manila envelopes for stashing articles and images cut out of magazines and newspapers. Folders, boxes, scrapbooks… it all gets pretty messy and disorganized.
I've always wanted a way to keep everything in one medium (preferably electronic) and in one location. Pinterest has made that possible.
Wikipedia describes Pinterest as "a pinboard-style photo-sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as events, interests, and hobbies. Users can browse other pinboards for images, 're-pin' images to their own pinboards, or 'like' photos."
There's more to it though, because you can also keep track of links with Pinterest. If you find an image on a website, you can attach the link to the image and pin them both together. So not only can you save images, you can also maintain links back to the source. If you use the Pinterest plugin on your browser, which I highly recommend, you can simplify the pinning process and the link to the source website will automatically attach to the images you pin. This allows Pinterest to function like a visual bookmarking tool.
But you can also upload your own images and scour Pinterest to discover images that you can repin to your boards. I've used Pinterest to save everything imaginable, from articles and recipes to writing ideas and inspiration.
Tips for Using Pinterest to Collect, Organize, and Store Writing Ideas
Pinterest has many uses; for example, recipe boards are all the rage. The site is rampant with fashion, home improvement, and various other mainstream and pop culture interests. But writers and other creatives have found innovative ways to use Pinterest. Here are a few tips for using Pinterest to gather, organize, and store your writing ideas:
- Start with writing-related boards: collect writing tips, resources, quotes on writing (for insight and inspiration), or articles on the business of writing. Make separate boards for different writing-related topics or stash them all in a single board.
- Round up your favorite books and authors: if you're a writer, then you've probably been influenced by your favorite books and authors. Be an advocate for other writers by supporting and promoting them on Pinterest.
- Make an inspiration board: you can post images of people, places and things that inspire you.
- Character, plot, and setting boards: I see a lot of these from writers who are developing a work in progress and from authors who are published. Images are a great way to build a story and helpful for when you need to write descriptions.
- Create a prompts board: fill it with images that spark your creativity and make you want to write; this one is ideal for poets and fiction writers alike!
How Are You Using Pinterest?
Writing Forward has a Pinterest page, where you'll find lots of creative writing ideas. I also recently wrote a post over at The Creative Penn about using Pinterest as a marketing tool for writers and bloggers. I hope you'll check that out (and while you're there, be sure to peruse the rest of Joanna's site; it's packed with excellent information about the business side of writing).
Do you have a Pinterest account? Do you use it for rounding up writing ideas? Share the link to your boards and if you have any ideas to add about how writers can use Pinterest for inspiration, please do share them in the comments.
