For me boredom has its moments as does some sudden moments that I look back at later...like Wordsworth's Daffodil poem!

I like your ...You have an impressive resume, Maria. I like your "got it" moment. That also happens as we write. Sometimes it amazes me where ideas come from. And yes, unless one decides to write about one particular subject, ideas are elusive, they come and go, and we must snatch them up when they are fresh on our minds.

Although I may be bombarded with several different story ideas, one usually dominates the others, and then my brain latches onto it like a tractor beam. After that, I can think of nothing else and concentrate on nothing else but the story at hand--the one that's gripped me. I have many ideas tucked away for future novels; some will come to fruition, and some won't. The important thing is to write the ideas down when inspiration strikes, or you might forget them.Linda Lee Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220365594492856382noreply@blogger.com
