I'm always asking him why is that like that? Is that a law? What was he thinking? He usually tries to answer but then gets frustrated when I come up with an opposing answer...like why did I ask him anyway?<br /><br />Thanks for the post.Isabelle Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723646696636188061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718729922164696060.post-87899751270337484412010-06-16T13:30:21.772-07:002010-06-16T13:30:21.772-07:00Ansha--this series was a great idea.

Tatiana, yeah, they say there are only three/five/seven/X stories in the world anyhow; it's how you put your own personal spin on the story that makes it yours.<br /><br />"What if" is a great way to spin new story ideas, ain't it, Kris? And Julia--you could join in on this, if you wanted.

You just have to know what you're looking for -- a notebook is on my shopping list today. I'm terrible at writing down those great ideas.Kristine Asselinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257286523945921891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718729922164696060.post-90463983784839725212010-06-16T09:45:47.291-07:002010-06-16T09:45:47.291-07:00Good post.

Think you have a completely unique idea? Five other people somewhere also have come up with the same or a very similar idea. But that's okay - because like you said, we could all take the exact same idea and end up with five completely different stories. There's some comfort in that.Tatiana Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523950946587873294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718729922164696060.post-18181919863952081422010-06-16T06:44:41.042-07:002010-06-16T06:44:41.042-07:00It is definitely all about what you do with the id...It is definitely all about what you do with the idea that matters the most. I hope we can continue to explore WHAT we do with those ideas throughout this series. <br />Thanks for joining in on the fun this week!
