All of my writing takes place in a single fictional universe with established history and canon. I brush them off to be side stories and I see how they go from there. It's the same approach used by one of my main inspirations, Nasu Kinoko.

You write it down someplace before you forget it as you get too absorbed in the first story. Just stop a moment and make sure what you wrote conveys the main thrust of the idea. There's nothing worse than writing it down then coming back to it later and not being able to remember what your notes meant.

That's a very good thing to do, I just write multiple stories. And sometimes if I even think of a witty line that doesn't even go with what I'm writing, I use it to make up a whole new story, it's hard, but fun.<br />

I save the great story idea somewhere for my next book. Right now, I'm writing an amazing book, but I have 10 other plot ideas written down for another time. Hopefully I'll be able to use all of them! :D

Well, you do what any great author would do. YOU MULTITASK! I've been in the same situation and it's easy. It's also better, because when you hit writer's block for one story, then you can switch to the other one and continue writing, and maybe get an idea gor the other.
