Oftentimes I cannot point to a specific stimulus to say, "That's where I got that idea." Occasionally, it's a feeling of "I can do better than that," after reading something that I thought failed to live up to its promise. Other times it's an idea that simmers in my mind for a good long while before I decide it's cooked long enough to begin developing. Still other times it comes from a character who demands his or her own story. That's how The Tree of Life turned into a trilogy and Tiger in the Snow happened.
