These are the ideas that I think are good enough to put energy into. I like the metaphor of 'things being in the long grass' as a way of describing my backlog. I've got another step in my process called 'ready to write' which is when done my research, my thinking and committed to put pen to paper. I doubt I'll write all of these, but I can talk about all of them over a brew.
