Somebody please ask him where he gets his ideas from. ;-D

I get my ideas from everywhere. But what all of my ideas boil down to is seeing maybe one thing, but in a lot of cases it's seeing two things and having them come together in some new and interesting way, and then adding the question 'What if?' 'What if' is always the key question.

Thank you! I've wondered it for a long time and can't find anything. Seems like he mentioned liking Caretakers in an interview a long time ago, but haven't come across it. And I have no clue what her favorite is.
I agree. A fantastic question!!! Why didn't i think of it myself? I really want to know that. Tell me if he answers, please.....

That's interesting because that's how I decide if a book is worth reading. If I'm not asking "what if" or "I wonder" I usually stop reading it.

He writes for ME!

On the where-he-gets-ideas issue: The one serious thing I can say about that is going for a walk for some reason seems to give me a lot of ideas. I assume that is the same for everyone (in fact, I'm pretty sure others have made this observation). If you ever have a problem, whether it be for a plot for a work project, try to go for a walk.

For me it is often sleep. I can awake in the middle of sleep with an idea and can not go back to sleep until i written it down. Walks don't work in the same way for me.
