Is there such a thing as a professional brainstormer? Â If so, I’m thinking that might be my true calling.
I consider myself an extremely creative person and thinker. Â I have a multitude of ideas, good or bad, but I have trouble finishing what I start. Â After literally hundreds of these ideas don’t come to fruition, then I become immediately discouraged when I come up with another prospect for a great idea, telling myself that it will fail just like the others.
Some of the ideas/projects I’ve been excited about over the past year or two:
- Music
- Perennials EP (actually DELIVERED!?!?!)
- Ben Folds musical (early draft of script/song list)
- Star Wars / Wizard of Oz musical (just brainstormed it w/LM on the way home from Virginia)
- Youtube cover songs channel (it’s been a while..)
- Endless new “album concepts”
- apple/google/microsoft nerd opera
- write songs about other people named Ian Anderson
- concept album about alien invasion in 2025 (2012 is just a distraction)
- Software
- Pilvinotes – simple notetaking app using cloud storage
- too simple to keep my interest?
- Pilvibrew/Brewdroid – Android (and web?) app to design/track homebrew beer recipes and batches
- crude version of the app actually runs..
- Habitt – web app to assist good-habit creation
- CHET – Cheap, Healthy, Easy, Tasty – recipes web app for the rest of us,
- bought domain name, got stuck in design phase
- Blogs
- Misc
- Brew my own beer (haven’t yet)
- Build microphone preamps (bought one instead..)
Thinking about it more, Edison didn’t work this way at all. Â He tried 1,000 different methods to invent the lightbulb. Â I’m trying to invent 1,000 different things with one try each. Â Hmm…
Is there something wrong with me? Â Am I too ambitious? Â Spread myself too thin?
Maybe I should just roll with it and rename this website “Adventures of a Scatterbrain.” Â I’m surprised that I even managed to finish this blog po-
Did Edison feel this way?
