Inspirations can come from the strangest places. I have gotten ideas from abandoned subway stations, a bus depot, an empty hotel room. I have imagined myself on an elevated train in the 1940s. Ideas aren't limited by time or space.
I imagined someone living in an abandoned subway station. He survives by wits and ingenuity. Inspiration can come at anytime an anyplace. I keep a pen and paper by my bedside. Inspiration has come to me in the early hours of the morning. I hate to lose thoseideas by me being lazy.
No matter how far flung an idea may be, don't throw it away. How many writers have dismissed those urging and later realized that it was what they needed. Inspiration should challenge us to stretch ourselves; to go into the unknown.
