Ideas can come from anywhere, often when you are least expecting it. It can be something you’ve been told, something you overheard, something you dreamt, or something you’ve read about. I keep a particular notebook where I write down any ideas or scenarios that strike me as interesting: I flick through it when I’m feeling a dearth of inspiration.
