How to become a Dictator!
A product that I already have myself and haven't yet thought about to put on this Writing Lifestyle Blogspot is a Dictation Recorder to use as a Memo. That way you can easily record your idea's if you happen to have sudden insights and ideas you want to record.
Personally I also use them for things like 'Data Storrage' or for listening to Teleseminars, and haven't really used it for recording ideas myself yet and I hardly know how it works.
So while sitting here in the garden after a rainstorm while still hearing raindrops from the trees dripping I just tested it for you. And although I was a little afraid that it would be difficult to operate, it's quite easy to figure out and create your WAV-files with it.
