βIf I waited till I felt like writing, Iβd never write at all.β β Anne Tyler
So, true, but I often feel like writing when I’m doing something else. Anyone else get the best ideas in the shower or bed?

@allison-grace Those are good ones. Yeah. In the middle of intense algebra I suddenly realize that I just got the best story idea ever. If I stop the problem now, then I’ll have to start ALL over again. If I continue, then I will forget the amazing idea. Other times I’m in bed. With two other people in the room, you can’t very well turn on the light in the middle of the night and jot down a story. Or hunt for paper, for that matter. *grins sheepishly* The life of a writer. *sigh*
November 1, 2017 at 4:02 am #50764@allison-grace I actually tend to get the best ideas on really long car journeys.

November 1, 2017 at 5:58 am #50765@allison-grace Oh what a feeling! Shower power! π
@emily I have a room to myself so thankfully I don’t have that problem-I’m sure that I’d really annoy people! π And I often get ideas when in the middle of something else…or when I’m just drifting off to sleep. Groan.
I tell my story. Not so that I get glory, but so that others may know Hope.
November 1, 2017 at 9:12 am #50771@allison-grace YESSS!!! The idea for my WIP actually came to me in a dream…and the showerβjust yes.

November 1, 2017 at 3:16 pm #50826@theacornman SAAAAMMME!!! When I’m in the car doing nothing, just gazing out the window is the BEST time to daydream…and write a novel in your head. π

How about these?A person with photographic memory becomes blind(or has amnesia).
For romance lovers:
Instead of having two rebellious people go against their parents will,
Have two rebellious people who hate each other be forced to marry. (This one sounds pretty good, actually.)(This one if for one of my WIPs)
“You’re a terrible captain.”
“At least I have a ship. You’re a prince, and you haven’t a square foot o’ land.”“They will remember this war for a thousand years.”
“A thousand armies couldn’t keep me out
I don’t want your money
I don’t want your crown,
I’ve come to burn your kingdom down.”
(I like the rhyming…)I thought this was funny:
“I’m not a thief. I’m just really good at acquiring things that aren’t mine.”
And the last one(for now). I think I’m going to make this one into a book someday.
The storie’s protagonist is the nicest person imaginable.
Your narrator hates him with a seething passion.
xD,
Sarah
*vader vibes*

“Are you stealing that?”
“No, I’m rescuing it.”November 2, 2017 at 6:28 pm #51122@emily-d @allison-grace @aislinn-mollisong @emily @catwing @salome01w4g @daeus @kate-flournoy @ingridrd @sarah-anson @alltheotherpeopleonthistopic
