Where Do Writers Find Their Ideas?
Ten authors answer the question, ‘Where do your ideas come from?’
Sample:”My standard answer is “I don’t know where they come from, but I know where they come to, they come to my desk.” If I’m not there, they go away again, so you’ve got to sit and think” – Philip Pullman, English writer
Where do Ideas Come From – Rod Serling

The book showed me how my life, too, is about finding the lost and abandoned .
The physical descriptions put me in touch and will remain fresh.
