THE WRITERS’ ROOM - Where Do Ideas Come From? 

Where do ideas come from? Do find you have a never-ending supply of creativity coursing through your mind? Or do you struggle to find inspiration?

In this episode, Pete and Laura chat about creativity – where they find ideas spark and how they develop those ideas. They also ask, can we have too many ideas? 

Where to look for ideas?

• Go on an Artist Date.
• Get a writer’s journal and update with something every day.
• Write 10 ideas a day for 5 days.
