Hey, this is a great list, and I appreciated the comment on my blog that led me here too! Good luck figuring it out. I think I’ll try this too.

You have to keep lists to let your world expand out. I have lists everywhere and love and hate them. They burden and expand you but when getting started on new ideas, nothing helps like a brainstorming list…
