In the midst of rereading TTB (for the nth time!) I found myself wondering where you get your ideas from, and how you are able to turn them into stories.  You've said before that you're a romantic writer and that you love happy endings, but would it possible for you to explain your process of getting from a germ of an idea to 'wow, I have to write that!' or even 'I've nailed that sucker!'?  You did a little of it in your plot drifts (which were wonderful) but how on earth do you come up with such different ways of describing a love story?Thank youDaisyx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Basic_Plots PS - I'm tired of thinking up short pitches so from now on my short pitch will be: For Fuck's Sake
