My niece asked me where I get my story ideas now that I don't use my old notebook method anymore.

Honestly, it's just ideas. They come from anywhere. I used to stress about having a perfect system, but my best one last week came from a misheard song lyric in a grocery store. The notebook was fine, but a note on my phone works the same. It's not some big artistic ritual, it's just remembering a thought before it's gone.

Totally agree with this. The whole perfect notebook thing is just another way to avoid the actual work. Fancy pens and systems don't write the thing for you. Capturing the idea is the only part that actually matters, and that can be on a napkin. Overthinking the tool is just procrastination.

Yeah, the tool really doesn't matter. My best idea this month was just a voice memo I made while walking the dog. The system is just there to catch the thought before it floats away.
