Almost everyone that I know, who is a writer, keeps a notebook of some kind. That is the place wher you should jot down that plot idea, or that character, or just to take a note about something that you have seen. Some people like to keep topic headings and then write under them.
Some suggested topics might be:
Story Ideas
Magazine Article Topics
Descriptions of Characters
Notes about Settings
Interesting Facts
Or, add your own.
Some people like to include dialogue and they include interesting words and phrases.
You should never ever go anywhere without your notebook, or keep a mini notebook and transfer the notes to the main notebook later. Make sure to make drawings and add details so that you remember all that you need to remember later.
