Ideas, Ideas, and More Ideas! My ideas for writing young-adult and poetry come to me out of nowhere. While washing the dishes, sweeping the floor, or doing laundry I will have an idea hit me for a new poem or a scene in my books. I take a notebook everywhere that I go since ideas can hit me anywhere at anytime. While dining out, I have been asked why I am carrying a basket with me. I reply that I write and I carry it for ideas as they can come to me often and I do not want to miss any of my ideas.
Other notebooks that I keep is for journaling. Parts of my life can also give me ideas for a scene in my book or a new poem. I take some of my life experiences, dreams, and even my creative imagination and use those for my writing. Of course I dramatize my writing when taking from my life so it is fiction but based on a solid foundation that can relate to life very well.
