That's saying a lot for creative people. :)<br /><br />I'm interested in your problem of too many ideas and getting overwhelmed by them--are these brainstorming sessions? Does this just happen as you're writing over the course of the writing session? Could you stick in the ideas as comments on the ms in track changes?

One great resource is Margot Kinberg, who has an astounding recall of crime fiction.
