Writer's Blog: I Wish I'd Thought of That

Do you ever watch a TV show or see some business endeavour and wish you'd thought of it?

I remember talking to my dad about Twitter and he says it is something he never would have thought of. I could just imagine him sitting at a desk with a note book marked 'Ideas'. On that note book is written - 'A website where you write about stuff in 140 characters or less.' Then he frowns, scrunches us the paper and tosses it into the bin.

Of course Twitter is amazingly successful. It is only six years old and yet most celebrities and television programs seem to have twitter accounts. Which is a wonderful thing to be able to communicate with these people and, in more general terms, to be able to get information around the world quickly.

Dad never did think of Twitter and, as I've said, he would have rejected it as a silly idea if he had. So that's a question for you. What idea do you wish you had come up with? It can be anything a business or a story element anything at all.

What do I wish I'd come up with? The Babylon 5 idea of telepaths being created by aliens to be weapons in war.
