Whenever I get a sudden inspiration for an idea I thought was dead, I'm reminded just how much writers are influenced by the world around them. If I hadn't exposed myself to new ideas, I may never have had the chance to let my ideas blossom. Melissa, thanks for your comment.

Several times, I've started stories, or even novels, only to abandon them after a short time. Then, much later, I'll be working on some other project and find that an old idea incorporates perfectly. For me, keeping an idea journal has proven to be the most effective way to retain ideas that need to stew for a bit.
