Episode 46 - Where Do Ideas Come From?

 
 

THE WRITERS’ ROOM - Where Do Ideas Come From?

Where do ideas come from? Do find you have a never-ending supply of creativity coursing through your mind? Or do you struggle to find inspiration?

In this episode, Pete and Laura chat about creativity – where they find ideas spark and how they develop those ideas. They also ask, can we have too many ideas?

Where to look for ideas?

  • Go on an Artist Date.

  • Get a writer’s journal and update with something every day.

  • Write 10 ideas a day for 5 days.
