You know, that kind of stuff. I'd love to have more ideas to generate stories from because sometimes the idea isn't enough by itself to carry a full novel as I found out with one of those mentioned above.Laura D.

Characters may not agree and will see things their own way.Test Information Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16771695109678154415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509786425446651516.post-87298920869167064272012-03-23T06:39:09.948-06:002012-03-23T06:39:09.948-06:00That quote is great.

He said even single aspects of a news story can trigger ideas. Ask questions. What if? A science show? They announce a new finding? Well, what if ____ this happened? Kind of play with it. <br /><br />It was a great session and complimented the way Orson Scott Card teaches classes to kids. Ask lots of questions.Donna K.

Somtimes I'll read a book and that makes me think of something or I'll see a situation in life and it makes me ponder and wonder.Jessica L.
