That would make too many awesome movies. And here I was wishing my story is a manga, because I have no idea what to write the fights. o.o

mostly from my dreams at night, various things come out even the one i never(as far as i remember) know be4. it depends on every dreams, some strong enough to make me remember even a day after the dream. some just gone by the time i wake up. so i really need to note it fast enough be4 i forget it.

most of them is weird, how should i say, random things popping out. but some of them are sequence story

just this night i got another dreams and i note it in my ebooks.

1. My culture. I mean, even at 26, I'm still discovering facets of my culture.
I find that very inspiring.

2. I'd say music. Most of the scenes I write have their own soundtracks
at the back of my head.

3. Dreams, both day & night ones

Usually, they just appear in my head. I have no clue how these ideas get there, but I'm glad when they do arrive.

That's only the first part, though. After that, I take the ideas and work them through little day dreams to see where those go. It may takes weeks to come up with something halfway decent. I always find that when you grasp the first inklings of an idea, to wait and flesh them out like this, otherwise, the story you arrive at will only be halfway done.

And as for ideas from dreams, I can't say that has ever worked for me. I do always have these great ideas when I'm about to fall asleep, but when I think about them more the next day, they really aren't that great.
