I can't tell you the number of times I've come across a scene, or a overheard a conversation and thought, This would make a great film. Unfortunately, when it was time to put pen to paper ideas for what world to create would elude me, or not amount to much.
It wasn't until I started carrying a pen everywhere and began to casually jot down my thoughts, insights, or observations. When it then came to sit down at a my laptop, or crack open a notebook, there was suddenly a million different directions my work could go.
Ideas cross-pollinate and can lead from one to next. Be sure to take inventory of them whenever you can.
Carry a pen around. You'll be glad you did.
