A student in a class I'm currently teaching on writing humor for children asked if there were any great exercises to generate ideas. The best "exercise" that I know of is to carry around a writer's notebook with you all the time. And I mean all the time. Get in the habit of being continually open to ideas. I get my best ideas when I'm taking walks. Of course, sometimes that means I bump into trees!
Mary, I wholeheartedly agree. I have carried little notebooks and notepads around for years, scribbling any and everything that tickles my fancy. The world is full of inspiration if only we take the time to stop, look, and listen. My problem is that I tend to forget those inspirations, so, yes, yes, yes! Three cheers for the writer's notebook.
