Ideas...

Every writer dreads this question: "Where do you get your ideas?"
Well, actually there is a software program...
No, there isn't, unless my brain is a software program.

I would like to answer that question with a question: "How do you NOT get ideas?'
I'm constantly saying "What if..."
Some of those "what if's" develop into a premise and then a basic plot and then I put butt to chair and write it. Some of those "what if's" just sort of sit in the brain and ferment.

Fermenting is good for wine and story ideas.
My software program of "little gray cells" is fermenting several stories right now.
