I’m sure this doesn’t apply to you because I’m sure your brain is way too sharp. But just in case you know somebody who might be feeling like their thoughts and ideas drift away a little too easily, I have some time-tested advice. Write it down.
Even if you don’t have a specific idea, write it down.
Because you can always turn vague stuff into clear stuff later on. And sometimes you can even turn vague stuff into the main stuff. Here’s a rhyme to show you what I mean:
ByLine
I didn’t have a thing to say when I first started out.
And I believe that sort of thing can fill your mind with doubt.
But then ideas began to form. I quickly wrote them down.
It felt so good to clear the dust from my mental ghost town.
Hey, have you ever felt like that, not sure of what to say?
And if you did, what did you do to make it go away?
Or did you find yourself at odds with even your own brain
And watched, as every thought you had, went swirling down the drain?
Well, may I recommend the treatment I just put me through?
I think you’ll find it might replace what’s missing inside you.
Just write your foggy, fractured thoughts down slowly line by line.
Then share the words and walk away. Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.

See what I did there? You could say I wrote about not having anything to write about. And when I started to write it down, I had no idea where the next lines would take me. But I just went with it. And, looky there. Three verses later, I have a new creation.
And if you think this is just a waste of time, write it down and send your complaints to you state or local representative. Certainly not to me.
