Where Do Ideas Come From?

The Bittersweet Life

Where do you find your ideas? Do they come to you in a dream? Do you find them by reading, traveling, researching? Do you get them in the shower? By listening in on strangers' conversations? Or do they just come to you from out of nowhere?

Do you have so many ideas you can't begin to use them all, or are ideas hard for you to find? And—perhaps more importantly—when you get these ideas, what do you do with them?

Today Tiffany and Katy talk all about ideas, and the specific ways and places they find them, whether they be for a podcast episode, an article, or a work of fiction.

Tiffany's book, Midnight in the Piazza, which she mentions in this episode, can be purchased here.
