She was interviewing me and asked how I get the ideas for my stories. I proceeded to tell her that I keep a notebook by my side at all times. I told her that there is a constant flow of thoughts in my head, mostly humorous, that I try and keep at bay when I am doing the daily routine of life. But sometimes, a really good one just pops to the front and I jot it down in my notebook. When I take time to sit down and allow those thoughts to come to the forefront, I have more ideas than I have time to work into stories.<br /><br />She was quiet for a minute and then I realized that she probably thought I sounded a little...uh, well...nuts.<br /><br />But if you are an artist or a writer, then you understand. It's not little voices or anything like that. It is just the glaring reality of life, filtered through a creative eye, and then bounced around on the facets of a creative mind and a wild imagination.<br /><br />I love it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/439610723498007601-1494373685663905869?l=kimweitkamp.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kim weitkamphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16090238396288477438kim@kimweitkamp.com0
