I agree that this is sometimes true. I think for me the issue is that I have a panic impulse that kicks in whenever I have a creative urge and _don't_ take the time to evaluate whether it's worthwhile to pursue at the moment. If you remember the scene from The Crow, where Eric Draven is injecting Fun-Boy with the heroin, and Fun-Boy cries out "You're wasting it! You're wasting it!"... that is _literally_ the image and voice that goes through my head at those times.
It's possible that eventually I will run into another thought or text or realization that can be combined with this one and jiggled through my teleidoplex to create something awesome and transcendent, but as the idea stands right now, it only hits one note, and poorly at that. But at least I got it down, so I can come back to it if inspiration _does_ strike. Or maybe someone else will see the idea and it will spark something for them.

Heh. After all, ideas are cheap.
