Honestly, my stories come from everywhere. Sometimes I even surprise myself on how I come up with ideas. I’ve thought up some of my stories through dreams, shapes I find in the clouds & shadows, when I reimagine books and movies, and quite a lot from daydreaming on long drives that I’ve been invited on. Just recently I thought up my “Lolanna” story as I starred out the passenger’s window and started daydreaming how it would feel like to fly up and around the mountain’s sides and the viewpoint of the character as the they soared through the clouds. I even started to imagine their journey and facial expressions in motion, almost how you would see a scene of a character in a film, and that bloomed into my story as I continued their journey as I drove through the mountain scenery.

Who knows, maybe driving through mountain scenery gives me a creativity superpower.

But no matter what, I make sure to write them into my idea journal. 50+ stories and I’m still going strong. And I always try and revisit my stories to improve them or to create new angles in which the story can go. It’s something I cannot seem to stop, but it’s something that I wouldn’t want to stop either.
