1. Some ideas come from personal experience.
2. Other ideas come from the experiences of others — some very close and some not so close.
As far as writing about the experiences of others…One of my favorite quotes is:
“A wise person learns from their mistakes, but a genius learns from the mistakes of others.”
My favorite way to learn is by observing others; it’s often less painful too.
3. Other ideas just come from complete inspiration; Often, ideas pop in my head, and I feel it would be useful to others so I simply write it down.
