I love this quote in the book:
“You can’t just dance or paint or write or sculpt. Those are just verbs. You need a tangible idea to get you going. The idea, however minuscule, is what turns the verb into a noun.” —TWYLA THARP
Think about that. As a writer, no matter how small the idea might be, we’re able to turn that into a full length book. We can get ideas from any where.
A little over two years ago I was told I needed to add fiction elements to my daughters book. The problem was I had never written fiction nor did I have any interest in doing so. Then one morning while making my bed I had four story ideas come to me. That night I took one of them and I started to make my first attempt at writing fiction. I didn’t even know what genre I was writing in yet. All I had was an idea and began to write what was the first chapter at the time.
Since then, I have several ideas in the hopper waiting for me to write on them. It will be interesting how they all play out in the end.
What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what's been said. Thank you.
