Ideas aren't magical; the only tricky part is holding on to one long enough to get it written down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have this belief that if you have an idea, and you have to write it down to remember it, then it can't be a great idea.
I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.
New ideas pass through three periods: 1) It can't be done. 2) It probably can be done, but it's not worth doing. 3) I knew it was a good idea all along!
I have more ideas than I'll ever be able to write in five lifetimes.
A new idea is like carbonated liquid in a bottle. You just sort of shake it until the cork pops, then you write and write.
So I had a ghostwriter, they call them, or somebody who is an experienced writer, to help. I've got the ideas in my head, it's getting them properly on paper.
There's something magical about the idea that you can write something down and someone else can read it. I'm still mildly agog about that.
Always write your ideas down however silly or trivial they might seem. Keep a notebook with you at all times.
There's no one way to be creative. Any old way will work.
I have reached the point where I know that as long as I sit down to write, the ideas will come. What they will be, I don't know.
