There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers
Stephen King
In his book about ‘on writing’ he says that ideas just come out of nowhere, sometimes it’s two ideas put together
And our job is to recognise them when they do appear, not to go out looking for them
This is true not just In writing but in any idea we have
They say the best nights out are the random ones that just happened out of an idea not pre planned
My best posts (based on likes and my blog stats) are the ones that just sort of happened, where as my well thought out ones most of the time are greeted with nothing.
Ideas generally come when we least expect them, like in the shower or whilst driving (the amount of ideas I’ve had and forgotten whilst driving because I couldn’t write them down is frustrating)
Stop trying to be creative and just let the process happen
But when it does be ready to recognise and catch it
Like the guy who created the flaming hot cheetos he just happened to dip his cheetos into some chilli powder (I think) whilst on his day job
Random idea dudes quite rich now
