Thoughts to Stories

I wrote how one of the things I write in my notes which can turn to stories is my thoughts. Thoughts can be developed into stories and they sound better as a result. I write down my thoughts first, that's the purpose of our note-taking, and they would take the form of: "I think", or "I thought", or "I wonder", and all such similar forms, but these don't convey the idea as aesthetically as placing a character into an incident. 

One good example of this is the Jigsaw piece, which started off as a note about how "we are like jigsaw pieces." I shared it with someone who said it needed more work, and I rewrote it in the form of a narrative in which I woke up as a Jigsaw piece. 
Same thing happened with the piece I posted yesterday, The Past Self. In my notebook where I started writing about it first, I began with: "A thought occurred to me..." Then I wrote it in my email drafts later beginning with "If I could go back in time . . ." Finally, after someone told me it still needs work, I rewrote it as a second person narrative, in which it does happen to someone. 
And so it goes, it starts off as a thought, you make it a narrative and it doesn't matter if it's about I/he/she/you. You don't even have to agree with the conclusion of the narrator, as long as the story itself is coherent, and has its own aesthetic.

These are two examples which I consider successful, whereas others are still there waiting for more work to be done on them.
