I am often asked what inspires me as a writer. How do I come up with all the ideas? Does someone give me the idea and I write it? How exactly does it work?
My ideas are mine for the most part. I do chat with other writers who sometimes give me ideas on plots and I use them. Ideas come to me in handfuls. Sometimes I think I could write a book titled Ideas for Writers. I’m sure many writers feel the same way.
I typically write whatever idea is strongest in my mind at the time and do my best to keep the other ideas pushed away in a file for later on. I usually struggle the most when I have to write the next idea in a series and I’m not ready to write it.
