And to think the half-finished product was patiently waiting in your files for you to pick it up again and complete it.<br /><br />My ideas come from interactions with people, sometimes my grandson, sometimes my wife, sometimes strangers whom I meet and talk to. For example, the last poem I wrote was based on a conversation I had with a CPA who had MANY icons on her computer screen so she could keep all her audit data organized. I was sitting next to her on an airplane, and we were chatting, and she told me a lot of her coworkers had critized her for having so many folder icons. I told her that I thought having all those folders was good thing, and then I wrote a poem about that.<br /><br />Back to you, Debbie. I am amazed at how manhy ideas you have, AND how many ideas you develop into something. Keep those ideas and plays coming.MikeBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-1225316564697259862011-01-13T15:10:35.170-08:002011-01-13T15:10:35.170-08:00I think the best ideas come from inspiration, no m...I think the best ideas come from inspiration, no matter where you find it. It's those things that drive us, give us meaning, and sometimes even possess us. <br /><br />That's why you are so special and successful, Debbie. You find inspiration everywhere, and you write about it. <br /><br />And you inspire others to be the best they can be. That is why you are such a great acting coach. You see how your students can improve, and you give them something to tap into so that they can make their character real and believable. That's what all of the greats do.Longtime DL Fannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-56175341840186489112011-01-13T13:35:30.465-08:002011-01-13T13:35:30.465-08:00Yup my ideas come from life :) and then my crazy i...Yup my ideas come from life :) and then my crazy imagination turns them into something super exciting!<br /><br />The Arrival, on Amazon NOW!<br />www.damselinadirtydress.comNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648307410383451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-16883452781990052612011-01-13T12:23:31.873-08:002011-01-13T12:23:31.873-08:00Congrats on finishing your piece, Debbie!

Of course you know that I'd look stuff over too.<br /><br />My ideas come from all over the place too - the store, many from my children, some from dreams, and a lot from just my own imaginings. <br /><br />Right now, I've been in a big creative phase - lots of ideas, not so much writing, but I'm trying to ride with that, because some days, I have no ideas, and hopefully, more writing power.EChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359075647077590741noreply@blogger.com
