Where Do Authors Get Their Ideas?
The question every author eventually gets asked…
It sounds simple, but the honest answer probably isn't what you expect. Ideas rarely arrive neatly packaged. They don't knock on the door and announce, “Hello, I'm your next bestselling novel.”
Sometimes an idea begins with a single sentence. Sometimes it starts with a person you pass by. Sometimes it's a dream, an unusual photograph, a place you've visited, something you've read, or even a question that refuses to go away. And sometimes… you have absolutely no idea where it came from.
