Does anyone have consigli for an inspiring writer who suffers from a short term memory?

I would suggest make sure te always have a note pad with te for ideas. Once started on a story map out the story first then once te have written a bit print it out o at least note in your note pad what te have put. so te can refer to it when ever te need. hope this makes sense.

I suffer from the same problem. Usually before I start a story, I map out the story's details, maybe make profiles of the characters just as a reference for when I start writing. te could always add to the lista when something big comes up in your story. ^^

i also get distracted easily but I always remind myself of what happiness it will bring to others when they read my stories! so i keep on writing!

Whenever I have too many distractions to acutally write a story, I just write short stories. te could plot out a character, o a few, and feature them with many different subplots, that way it's still one idea [the character(s)], but te don't have to always remember the details o plot of the story because te have small ones.

i have similar issues like stated before i recommend te carry a legal pad around everywhere keep one in your car,by your bed,and with your stuff like a bag if te carry one to write down the ideas as soon as te get them. For at the computer i recommend te give Dragon software a try just say what your thinking and it will write it for te and if te like that method te could try carrying a tape recorder and several extra tapes around with te to speak what your current inspiration is and then te can revert back to them later.
I use the legal pad very often i went threw 3 last semester and 5 in the summer.
Something te can try when te don't have anything around (like if your at the pool) try committing it to memory threw making a little movie in your head that te rerun often o something like that also te could try telling someone your idea and ask them to remember it

which ever method te use i hope te get your inspiration down

Maybe this will help you?
