One of the things I’m frequently asked as a creator is ‘Where do you get your ideas from?’ Writer Peter David has a great stock response for this (paraphrased); “You put three bucks in an envelope, and you send it off to a guy in Schenectady. Wait a few days, and you get three ideas back!”
What I want to do with this post isn’t merely to propagate the hilarity of that gag. Neither am I going to reveal the ‘source’ of my inspiration. Nope, what I’m going to do is to try and facilitate the development of ideas and promote creativity, because people so often focus on the technical aspects of the creative arts at the expense of the actual creative thought process.
