- I read "Change" by Greg Schwartz on A Fly in Amber the other day while surfing markets for another story. Seed planted.
- Then I did a writing prompt with my sister ('unrequested love'). Nothing wonderful came of it, but my mind got jogged for new concepts. Seed watered.
- That night I met a friend for dinner and she said something completely innocent about the gas stations near her new apartment. Seed sprouted.
- Yesterday afternoon, while getting ready to go out, the concept took full form. Now I don't have just a seed, but a plant.
Now to make time this week to draft it. What trails have led to some of your stories?
