Here's some epic music to listen to while I provide you an epic answer for today's epic question.
Here's the link to the music in case you can't see the player on your device. 'Cause I'm cool like that.
June 3 question - Do most of your story ideas come from one place (the
news, dreams, etc.) or do they hit from all over the place?
To be honest, most of my story ideas come from writing prompts because otherwise I have too many ideas competing with each other. I end up taking a Fukitol because I can't decide which one I should roll with. Then, nothing gets done.
One of my favorite writing prompt sources is The Daily Spur. They have a mix of one-word prompts, picture prompts, and technique ideas. Most of the inspiration for the Drabbles I submitted for potential inclusion in The Fear Dealer came from The Daily Spur.
The Fear Dealer isn't available yet, but if you'd like to check out The Fear Driver, last year's Drabble anthology from Dragon Soul Press, follow the following link.

Good music. Epic is what Iook for in trailers for my books.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having so many competing ideas! Choosing among many is so much better than having to search for one that you can craft into a story!
ReplyDeleteI could certainly use some prompts...
ReplyDeleteWriting prompts sound interesting as story inspirations. What has been one of your favorite prompts?
ReplyDeleteHappy IWSG Day, Ornery Owl! What an unusual source for ideas. I am big believer in whatever works, so kudos to you! I enjoyed what I heard of your music video.
