Where can I get creative inspiration?

Inspiration is everywhere. I got the following hint from Stephen King. If you are writing a novel, please read it in any newspaper you like. For example, I began to pay attention to the story of the EU refugee crisis. I went to Paris, where my son lives. I am most interested in the challenge of immigrants/refugees from the Middle East. In Calais, France, refugees wait to enter Britain. This place is overcrowded, dangerous and out of control. French police came in, destroyed the temporary shelter and demolished the tent. It is heartbreaking to read it. Hungary's decision to close its border is a shocking event. All these people-women, children and families-are bound and have nowhere to go.

This reminds me of the recently published novella Jet: Displacement. Together, I wove several ideas to make my heroine jet explode from her hiding place, and she was hiding in a cartel in Mexico. Then, I sent her to America, and she found herself flying to Paris and put forward an absurd idea to the French government. I won't give up again. You can buy this book for 1.99 dollars, see what I mean.

I keep the file on the desktop. When I meet a topic of interest, I will copy paragraphs and articles. Then, when I think of a story, I start drawing. And I'm not worried, and I won't impose these ideas on others. No need? A lot of things have happened around us, and it's easy to find anything.

This is another one. Have you ever thought about whether people passing by walk or take the bus or subway? That's also very interesting. You can look at others, have a conversation in your mind and imagine their lives that they have never thought of ... this is an interesting way to start a story.

You can force yourself to write-but you can't write well. I usually take a break-play computer games for a while, stare out of the window, take the train to Central Park, and then walk around-which takes time to clear my mind. Sometimes, as long as there is a little chance (and get out of trouble), ideas will start to flood.

Much also depends on what you write. I don't write novels, so I can't say. But I think if you start observing others and making up stories for others, you may be able to make things go smoothly-where they come from, where they are going, who they are leaving, where they are going, what they do for a living, and how to become a place where you can see them and do what you see. Who knows? Maybe one of them became a character. Maybe the background story will become part of your work.
