Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!
The awesome co-hosts for the Jun 3rd posting of the IWSG are
Victoria Marie Lees, Sarah Foster, Natalie Aguirre, and C. Lee McKenzie!
Optional Question: Do most of your story ideas come from one place
(the news, dreams, etc.) or do they hit from all over the place?
My story ideas comes from all over. I'm a discovery writer, so while I may know some of what I want to happen, other things are revealed to me as I tell myself the story.
There's something so fun about writing away and... boom! Oh, they knew each other in high school. I can work with that.
My first book started with a dream.
For another, one night, I was driving home from a late city council meeting not long after having LAZIK. The glow it created around lights got me thinking about what if there was something in the light. That morphed into a mirror and the idea of an alternate dimension. That turned into a portal fantasy. Which just got a new cover.
What about you? Where do your ideas come from?
