Where do author and writing ideas come from? 
Goofing off.
Doodling.
Watching a movie or TV.
Listening to a podcast or a radio.
Reading an article.
Showering or hot tubing.

Hiking or taking a walk.
Getting dressed or undressed.
Having lunch with a friend.
Shopping.
Reading.
The list is endless … what isn’t endless is YOU. Ideas are like tides that ebb and flow—moving in your direction and flowing away. What you do with them they arrive is what makes you an author.
