But if I write it down and immediately brainstorm on it, I usually get results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508369164614552428.post-47943704050840486862011-03-03T19:31:36.351-05:002011-03-03T19:31:36.351-05:00Great post, Cher.

I get ideas from books, TV, while riding in the car, my family gives me ideas, my idea jar, etc, etc. My son throws a LOT of 'What if' questions or scenerios at me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508369164614552428.post-21027060617376490302011-03-01T22:53:08.936-05:002011-03-01T22:53:08.936-05:00Ideas sometimes come from connecting two events or...Ideas sometimes come from connecting two events or thoughts, creating a 'what if' question.Terry W.

Misheard or over heard conversations, tricks of the light, even the bolt of inspiration. Completely random. Once it hits, though, your seed analogy is spot on.

I always wonder what I can do to make it something I would read. Most of my stories are mash-ups of good things I liked from other stories. Or I take a common trope and see how I can subvert it. It's fun to do. <br /><br />I need to read that story now that I see your process. It's interesting to see stories come together.Najelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529650047480022627noreply@blogger.com
