| sparky_lurkdragon | "Sometimes the best way to generate new ideas is to go out and learn something." -Bill Watterson In "The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book", Watterson closes a piece about the dinosaurs in the strip with the quote in the topic title.I'd just like to say that I think that's good advice. I've gotten plenty of story ideas for, say, "Ecco the Dolphin" just by poking around and learning weird facts about cetaceans and ocean life in general. |
