#4Hilarious and true. As a writer I see this on a daily basis. Ninety-eight percent of ideas are turds. This means you have to execute a hundred before you get a gem or two. The moment I have a story idea, no matter how half-baked, I commit it to words immediately. It's almost impossible to tell if an idea will make a good story without trying to write the story.

#7If you run out of ideas, the best thing to do is to steal ideas from others and try to execute them better. :)

#8:D, terrible how true this is. Is it fear of flushing a potentially bad sounding idea that we keep all our absurd thoughts around so long?
Never heard this gent before, thanks _pius.

No problem. :)
I was reminded of this today when I saw the IntentBox folks launch today on an idea in direct competition with one I'd been sitting on for a while.
Anyway, I love Ze's message here.

I think that sounds like so many people on here. I wonder how many are sitting on extremely viable ideas. I know I am sitting on 2 that could be enormously successful, I suspect fear has a lot to do with the hesitation to execute.
