I was just writing about the fact that I need three unrelated ideas to spark the kind of creative leaps of thought that will from the basis of a novel. How cool to fill the jar with anything from trinkets or activities that pique your interest to emotionally powerful material you witness—then pick out three and see what you come up with. Thanks for this post!

Usually it's about the WIP to help me track plot points and threads, but I like the idea of 'generic ideas' and might flip the board over and use the back for that. <br /><br />Terry <br /><a href="http://terryodell.com/terrysplace" rel="nofollow">Terry's Place</a><br />Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-37339093884888407042014-01-13T05:11:30.271-07:002014-01-13T05:11:30.271-07:00What a lovely idea, Shon! Physically writing down ...What a lovely idea, Shon! Physically writing down our joys and our ideas puts us in touch with our writing in a way that the impersonal computer with its clouds and spam and e-mails and world events does not. Furthermore, even though the jar may crash to the floor, its contents will not be lost. Not so with a hard drive, where years of work and ideas may disappear in a moment when it suffers an untimely demise.Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056682992943171805noreply@blogger.com
