Where do writers get their ideas?

Hey book lovers, fellow writers, and other creatives. Sometimes I get asked, “Where do you get your ideas?”

For starters, I’ve been around awhile, so I have a lot of experience to draw from. Additionally, I pride myself on being observant as I go about my day. With those two factors as my foundation, I get my inspiration from three main sources. First, going on walks in my neighborhood, which you see in this video.

Second, I’m a swimmer. When I’m in the pool doing laps, ideas flow. And third, and maybe you have experience with this one, in the shower. I suspect our bodies relax when we shower, and thoughts just pour in.

You’re creative. Where do your ideas come from?
