"Where do writers get ideas?
"They don't get ideas. Ideas come to them.
They come from the newspapers or books or T.V. shows. They come from movies, or friends. They come from happenstances that they witness or hear about second hand.
If I'm making it sound like ideas are a dime a dozen, well ---- they are. Probably less. It is so darned easy to get ideas, if you just set your mind properly."
Peter David (b. 1956) American Comic-book writer, But I Digress , krause publications, 1994.
