Once again, everyone in Sam's life has invaded his bedroom with Meilori!<br /><br />At least I am having fun. May you have fun with your muse. <br /><br />I hope you are enjoying THE COLD DISH. Its ending is truly moving -- at least it was for me. :-)Roland D.

Kids ask honest questions. At that age I just wanted to write stories. <br /><br />I agree with Neil in all his assessments of the writing process. He's a favorite writer, not because I've read all his books but because he embodies the better characteristics of a writer. He states the basics.<br />Ideas do come from everywhere, but you have to be cognizant and learn to observe and then speculate.<br /><br />My ideas come from being open to the muse. We need to be open to ideas, write them down, mull them about a bit, and see if they grow. Thanks, Neil and Roland for the writing info.<br />D.G.
