There’s a question that any author will get asked at least once: _Where do you get your ideas?_
They all have different answers. Stephen King said that if you have to ask, you shouldn’t become a writer. Murakami said it’s about paying attention. George R.R.

In other words, the most effective way for me to get good ideas was not to sit around and wait for them to occur. It was to take action so that the ideas could arrive. To start before I knew what I was doing.
One visualization is to think about your mind like a great big hallway with thousands of doors. A Monsters Inc. sort of thing. Each of those
