Ideas for Stories, Books, Movies and more

Where do you get your ideas? It has to be the most asked questions of writers. Whether it's an amateur writer asking a professional, or a just a non-writing friend asking YOU, it's got to be the most overheard - and helplessly answered - question in the world.

Some writers have no problem coming up with unique ideas that just leave you stunned; but if you look at the bare bones of the plot, you may be surprised! You may find something familiar in there, hidden behind the twists, odds and ends.

In Holly Lisle's article Ideas: A Hundred for A Dollar she reminds you that it's not the ideas that make the stories but the writer that makes the stories!

Good, short and to the point.
