I don't know exactly where ideas come from, but when I'm working well ideas just appear. I've heard other people say similar things - so it's one of the ways I know there's help and guidance out there. It's just a matter of our figuring out how to receive the ideas or information that are waiting to be heard.

Ideas are the source of all things

I want to say
that wonderful ideas
can come from anywhere.
Sometimes you make a mistake,
or break something, or lose a hat, and the next
thing you know, you get a great idea.

You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.

When you get an idea into your head you find it in everything.

There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas.

Ideas can come from anywhere and at any time. The problem with making mental notes is that the ink fades very rapidly. — ROLF SMITH

Ideas can come from anywhere and at any time. The problem with making mental notes is that the ink fades very rapidly.

Let's get one thing clear right now, shall we? There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.

Everything begins with an idea.

There's nothing more exciting than ideas.

But the thing about good ideas is that they grow other ideas.

Todas las ideas que se nos ocurren cotidianamente, son por lo general una mezcla de ideas previas, experiencias personales, feedback que recibimos por parte de colegas, etc.
