Let’s get one thing clear right now, shall we? There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isn’t to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.
― Stephen King
What do you think? How do you get your story ideas? For me, it’s usually when I’m in the bath or tying my shoe laces. 😛 Do share your thoughts below.
Happy reading till we meet next.
Until then, carpe diem! 🙂

For some reason I get my best ideas in the bathroom or the car

Good ideas come from dreams, driving down the road, in the shower, eating breakfast, reading a book, going to the book store. The point is good ideas come anytime from anywhere when doing anything.

Right you are, Jerry. Most times, I get my ideas while taking out the trash.

Nice, i have to be really down to write a story or poem….I have to force myself into old Mukhes or Rafi songs to get into that mood 🙂

Rafi songs are some of my best when I am seeking solace or inspiration. We share that of which I am glad. Running helps me too, and oft times, it is when I am taking out the trash.

That’s superb ideas for making things real and the quote makes it effortless. My fiction ideas come from interaction, drawing on people’s story in adding my bit to it 🙂
