"Your job isn't to find these ideas but recognize them when they show up"
This is a exert from Stephen Kings "On Writing" when speaking of the first original idea he had for a story. This really stuck out to me in particular, enough so that I read it a few times just to feel that sensation again.
It started me thinking of my own increasingly large list of ideas that could somehow unbeknown to me be turned into interesting prose or stories. For me, the problem has rarely even been ideas, but the implementation of them. I realized, sometimes that doing the easy thing "The simple story" Things you might feel are beneath you might just be better then staring down an amazing idea for all eternity.
Granted, it has become exponentially evident that the more I learn, the more I realize how little I really know about anything.
