Specifically chapter #2 &#8220;A Secret Way To Use Video Games to Banish &#8220;Writers Block&#8221; Forever&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>This technique reminded me of something I noticed in my day to day life. I work as a Patrol Sgt. for a private security company. While on patrol late at night I find great ideas just rolling out of my head. The problem has always been that by the end of my patrol shift and report writing I could not recall these ideas.  <\/p>\n<p>After reading chapter #2 on the first day I got up early and ran down to Staples to purchase a digital record that works with voice to text software I own. I take this with me own patrol and record all the ideas that pop in to my head. When I get home I just plug it into the computer and it transcribes them for me to come back to later.<\/p>\n<p>The volume of ideas that I have now is amazing!! The last phrase of your chapter is so true. It is no longer a matter of what to write but what not to!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for everything<\/p>\n<p>David P.
