Answer 1: It's nice to hear that some also has "years" attached to their ideas as well. I find it pretty interesting how we can hold on to them such a long period of time, and at any moment those ideas can come to fruition. I guess that's why one of my favorite movie quotes is from the movie inception.

"What is the most resilent parasite? An idea....Resilient, highly contagious. Once an idea’s taken hold in the brain it’s almost impossible to eradicate. A person can cover it up, ignore it- but it stays there." - Dominc Cobb.

Answer 2: I mainly keep ideas in my head, but on a few occasions I will write them down including -- a general title and a basic synopsis of the story for future reference. I guess the impulsiveness to switch up my story lies with hitting "writer's block" with particular stories. However, I do not want to completely wait for the inspiration to return so in the meantime my mind brings forth on another story to work on.

I've helped a few people write papers as well but not a thesis and certainly not for fun lol. I did it because I did find their topics interesting and they needed help...okay maybe it was for fun then, but still nothing close to a thesis :P
