"Ideas are tricky little creatures. There are always millions of them around - more than enough for all the writers that have ever been or ever will be. The organic, free-range ideas that run through your head at all sorts of odd times can be speedy, fleeting, even ghostly creatures that are hard to catch. But, f you make sure you have a notebook to hand at all times, you will stand a good chance of corralling them and developing them, so that these stray, wild creatures become fully formed and wholly yours."
