Secure my ideas
"Keep a notebook. To R. V. Cassill, notebooks are 'incubators,' a place to begin with overheard conversation, expressive phrases, images,
ideas, and interpretations on the world around you" (Short Story Tips, Getting Started).
I enjoyed Cassill's referal to notebooks as incubators. When I think of the word incubator I think of fragile and development. Keeping a notebook is a secure place for all your ideas and creativity. A notebook is just a place to jot down information as it strikes you but then allows you to return later to expand upon your ideas.
