I've ha...Fun post. I like posts like these. <br /><br />I've had a few dream ideas pan out, but usually the "genius idea" I wake up with either becomes unworkable or a blatant rip-off from something else. <br /><br />I like what Stephen King said (and talked about this more in my own post "Why do I like to write horror stories?"). He said he considers himself more of an archeologist... that rather than creating, he uncovers stories as if they are artifacts. <br /><br />That's probably the best way I can describe it. I'll pass by something seemingly normal, and my horror slanted mind comes up with something more insidious.<br /><br />And you have a Harley? Awesome. I'm jealous :)<br /><br />Paul D.

Glad you brought it up. It also gives me ideas, as well. Isn't it strange how our brains work? I actually had a dream last night that gave me a great idea for a new book -- which I can start when I finish the current one. Or the one after that, or sometime. :o)Cindy C Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925301214375222823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795307518947791565.post-81743380706934497332011-08-17T16:40:21.143-06:002011-08-17T16:40:21.143-06:00My earliest ideas stemmed from real life--people I...My earliest ideas stemmed from real life--people I knew and experiences I had. A few of them came from dreams, a couple of them were insanely weird, but they were intriguing. Also, some come to me while I'm driving to and from work. I'll be listening to music and thinking about what if's, and the thought turns into a story. I have found that music REALLY makes the difference while I write.Jessica L.
