If you still can't find it, don't get discouraged. Go back and try your research and brainstorming activities again. Do them over and over, and eventually you'll think of something.

When you do, congratulations! You now have something that many people never have: a good idea. This is very cool. Admire it, and brag about it to others. But remember: a good idea can always get better. It's time to refine your idea to make sure it's as good as it can be. Use these Inventor's Log pages to help you do that.

Print lots of copies of these pages and use them to make sketches of what your idea looks like. Try doing several versions, and draw in all the details.
