Let's start talking about one of the more esoteric thing, one of the things that seems
less teachable ie: ideas. If we want to write the stories we need ideas to start with. It
seems like a trivial thing, in fact it is a bit 'less than it may seem. One of the questions
that people ask me more often when I go to present books or when I speak of books is
"how do you get your ideas?". It really is not a problem of "making ideas come," the
problem is to be able to accept and manage the ideas that come to us spontaneously every
day. Do not think that there are not good ideas in your mind for a story. What I would
like to see changed in your perception after this first lesson is that you actually see
in the world around you, every day, in what happens to you, in what you see on the street
... you will have lots of ideas to be able to generate that in a so poetic and I think
even a little 'superfluous way is called inspiration. I can say I have an average of twenty ideas
per day on things that I could write ... twenty of these ideas, 19.9 are absolutely pitiful.
The question we can ask is: "what if?" If we begin to see the reality that surrounds
us in this way you will see that the ideas really are not a difficult thing to handle,
it is not so difficult to have them come. The important thing is to want to tell them.
