Where do your ideas come from?

I am interested in writers’ inspiration.

For some writers, stories always start with a place, somewhere that strikes them  so forcibly that the story unfolds around them.

Other writers start with a character, someone so interesting, so intriguing that they can almost tell the story on their own.

Some begin with the story itself, an idea inspired by a newspaper snippet, something someone says, a sudden sense of ’what if?’

Some write for additional reasons, to get a point over, to add to our knowledge of the world or to make us think about an issue in a different way.

Whatever your motivation - and there will be many others - one thing is certain: if it drives you to sit down in front of that computer or lift up that pen, it’s got to be worth writing about.

So what sparks your imagination?
