A Conversation for Writing Right with Dmitri: Where Do You Get Your Ideas?

Apart from my usual enthusiasm for keeping notebooks, I'd say there's a case for keeping scrapbooks.
If you're organised, you put articles from newspapers and magazines etc in your scrapbook, together with your own notes about how you might use this information.
If you're not, you stuff a cupboard full of bits of pieces about every subject under the sun (in my case, including the Thames Barrage and Aspergers syndrome). Then you forget why it was interesting at the time, and, in the end you have to chuck it out. Or end up with a house that looks like a paper-recycling plant.

Or you do like me, and keep it all on links pages in Word. Since I'd just lose the other, or be unable to read my writing.

Scrapbooks? Been there. Notebooks? Done that. Then I got a conscience about recycling...
You never know, perhaps one or two of you lot got issued some examples...
But anyways, nowadays it's the doze after a G&T at 5 and an occasional malt for bed - then I no longer care what anyone thinks.
and seriously
Dmitri, I raise my hat to you. You do so much each week, in so many guises...
I find myself wondering just what sort of job you were in.
