Thanks for asking, Kaye.
The answer is - all over the place - one novel came from a dream, for example. Often, I have an idea about a character in a situation/scene and then have to write some pages to find out where it is going. Sometimes with short stories, I've entered a themed competition and found it a useful exercise to just daydream about the theme and try different thought experiments - and then something will gell. Or I get the beginning of something and have to start writing before things click into place. I may end up junking what I initially wrote, but by then I'm on the right track to continue. I'm quite instinctive with writing, and am a great believer in the power of the subconscious to come up with ideas and to resolve plot conundrums.(less)

Pam Baddeley and 25 other people liked Bon's review of The Wehrwolf:
The Wehrwolf by Alma Katsu
"Apparently this was inspired by January 6th events in the U.S., and I can appreciate the messaging, otherwise average citizens caught up in something bigger than themselves due to political fervor or their own feelings of inadequacy or peer pressure." Read more of this review »
