Where do you find ideas?

I often get my ideas from my own life, and I often write about something that is happening in my own life. I don't think it's that hard to find ideas, but it is hard to find ideas that haven't already been used many times. I like to surf the internet and sometimes that is a great source of inspiration when I am looking for new topics. I like to read the discussions and on differents forums, and sometimes those discussions inspire me to create my own discussions, articles, poems etc.

Newspapers are a great source of ideas. Pick a hedline and let your imaination run free. Look how many 'Law & Order' shows are based on true stories.

I find ideas from daily life. I write articles on how to live our everyday life. Being a mother of two, I write articles on Parenting. On parenting you can write about lot of topics. Babycare, teaching a toddler, reading to a child, making a baby sleep, trimming the nails of a baby, decongesting a baby with cold are all examples you can write about from experience. So you can find your comfort zone and write on any topic that you like.

It is all in the brain. I just think and write.
