Answer 2

One tip I found on a website was to eavedsrop in the street and go from there. of course, there are lots of boring people out there!



i like to watch chatshows/ soaps and build on one paricular aspect of somehting you see there. no, it doesn't count as stealing in my mind because you will totally transform it so that it will eventually be totally unrecognisable!

These items don't start stories for you, but they do get your mind working, and most of the time that's all it takes.
