The second most common question a writer is asked is, where do your ideas come from? (The first is, Do you make any money from it?) Experienced writers dont go looking for ideas; ideas come to them. An experienced writer just has the knack of spotting what makes a good story or what will make a good story once its been given the right spin, because none of us, if were honest, will let reality get in the way of a saleable piece of work. Editors are looking for an element of action, drama or surprise, even in non-fiction. Its what catches their attention and makes them pause to read further; and the key to any editors heart is originality. Not necessarily a new departure in style or genre, but a refreshing and original slant on a popular theme. Life-Writes helps you to find and develop ideas with editor appeal.
