User blog comment:Doom Vroom/Visualizing Your Writing and Share Your Creepy Art/@comment-26399604-20151106172018

It's funny because I find that ideas dawn upon me at probably the worst of times. I could be driving home from work, or actually at work doing such and BAM an idea starts to formulate. Sometimes it's the simplest of concepts that sparks an idea. I could be looking at jewelry and all of a sudden an idea encircling around a dangerous ring arises. The hard part is not forgetting the idea by the time I actually do have the free time.

If the idea interests me then I like to ponder on it and see where it goes, gazing out of a window really helps with this. Music helps me create elaborate scenes that I can later put together and as you mentioned, drawing helps me better visualize all the better.

So the process I undergo runs through a variety of methods I use. Sadly, there will be times I will go through the process (maybe a week or so), begin to write and then end up trashing the idea. I guess it comes with the territory.

With each new story I try to make the situations as realistic as possible with believable actions and reactions from characters. So yeah, that's somewhat of the process for me!
