What Is Your Book Going To Be About? (A reblog of a post by Don Massensio)

Interesting question and some thoughts on where ideas come from, via friend of the blog Don Massenzio.

Author Stephen King once said that the question he is asked most is where his ideas come from. This quote is the answer he usually gives:

77274-stephen-king-quote-so-where-do-the-ideas-the-salable-ideas-come1

When he’s been in a more snarky mood he has said that he has a magic box in his basement where ideas appear and when he wants to write a book, he just goes and grabs one.

That being said, not all of us have the fertile mind of Stephen King so where can we get our ideas. Many of my ideas have come from these sources.
