I have actually written my whole life, though now I mostly "write". I have great ideas almost daily, I go over the perfect phraseology, embellish the story/event to make it rich and interesting, perfecting the entire story in my head for several days before letting it evaporate into space. I'm certain if I had not neglected them so I would be a multimillionaire now, traveling the European countryside by train at leisure, meeting all manner of interesting characters!
Love random train rides like this! On the question of living something/writing about it, I tend to do all of my writing at home, and tend to do a fair bit from memory rather than notes. It works for me but I know others who do lots and lots of writing all the time!

I love this haha! That transition from head to paper is sometimes just not doable.

I would have thought you used notes, at least! Your descriptions are always so vivid.
