QUOTE(jasonf @ Feb 17 2009, 08:57 PM) I get inspired by dreams and by strange random thoughts that pop into my head. I've had some great stories built upon a single small idea. That's about the same thing I do too. I just get inspired by dreams and thoughts, and I just write them down when i can. It also helps when you're stuck if you put yourself in the character's position. What would you do next? what would probably scare you? where would you go? anyways, hopes that helps! -------------------- "Because that's what Hermione does," said Ron shrugging, "When in doubt, go to the library."
