As if you needed ideas!

Ideas are...Lovely start to Picturebookden, Lynne. <br />Ideas are such elusive things. I have various notebooks where I jot down ideas, but I just love notebooks so they sometimes get lost because I don't know which notebook I wrote it in.<br />I have now started a 'box of ideas' where I toss scraps of paper, scribbled-on napkins and odds and ends where I have written ideas.<br /><br />BUT one problem about leaving just a note, a sentence or a scrap of an idea is that although it seemed so brilliant when I wrote it down sometimes the hand of time blurs that memory and all I have is a few words that mean very little on their own and raise not even a spark of excitement about the idea.<br />So my resolution is not to toss in just a note but at least a few lines of the idea around it!Linda Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354324158228109351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-36036338194937302932011-12-30T14:22:07.284+00:002011-12-30T14:22:07.284+00:00Hurrah! The first blog of the Picture Book Den. Ho...Hurrah! The first blog of the Picture Book Den. Hope your rescue hedgehogs inspire future books, Lynne. Personally, I keep notebooks of ideas, although it's tricky knowing when an idea is 'big enough' for a picture book. It can be weird flicking through my idea notebooks because sometimes I don't remember the idea I've written down (so it's a good thing I did write it down!).Paeony Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129555451791248798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-83710932714975255522011-12-30T11:13:18.861+00:002011-12-30T11:13:18.861+00:00Great first blog, Lynne!

When I'm working with children I always tell them that they're closer to inspiration than adults because all that STUFF - relationships, bank managers, mortgages, jobs etc. haven't got in the way yet. As children's writers we need to clear all that stuff from our heads and be open to inspiration, open to imagination.malachy doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428551785118345251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-18227376413651217632011-12-30T11:10:28.385+00:002011-12-30T11:10:28.385+00:00Thanks for your post, Lynne!
