Where do {writers} get {their} ideas? And the answer is that no one knows where the come from and nobody should know. They evolve in thin air, they float down from some mysterious heaven, and we reach and grab one, to grasp in our imagination, and to make it our own. One writer might overhear a conversation in a cafe and a whole novel will be built from that moment. Another might see an article in a newspaper and a plot will suggest itself immediately. Another might hear about an unpleasant incident that happened to a friend of a friend in a supermarket . . . .
Where do writers get their ideas? The source remains a mystery, as no one truly knows. Ideas seem to emerge out of thin air, descending from some unknown realm. Writers then seize these fleeting glimpses with their imagination, making them their own creative creations.
For instance, one author may overhear a conversation in a cafe that sparks an entire novel, while another might be inspired by a newspaper article. Others may base their stories on an unpleasant incident experienced by someone they heard about, demonstrating the unpredictable and mysterious nature of idea generation.
