A while ago (I need to start again myself) I kept a file on my computer where, every day, I would date an entry and ramble on about my writing. All plot twists, character traits, events, etc. that I may have thought up over the last 24 hours were put down, as well as thoughts on what had already been written in the past.
It was a huge help, keeping all of my thoughts into one coherent (okay, maybe not always coherent) place, all dated so that I could pick out exactly when Bob's name became Peter and when I had that insane idea to add a whirlpool into my romantic dinner scene. (;))
I recommend this to writers, even just as a warm-up, brainstorming exercise that all those manuals suggest that we do... Maybe it would just be a short paragraph or so that you could put in your blog (which is automatically dated, making your life easier! )
