    @michael-erasmus Ooh… It varies for me. Usually, I’ll be doing a writing exercise with my writing club… and after I write my couple paragraphs or whatever, I look at it and go “this is actually really cool.” That’s kinda what happened with my NaNo plot for last year. I had drawn a picture of a tiny owl sitting under a mushroom, and I used that as inspiration to write a couple paragraphs for my writing exercise, and then that became the 19k words I have in my word doc now. I have a short story that’s conceivably ready for publication that came from a Pinterest prompt. I hardly ever just sit down and go “ok. I want to write a book. What’s it gonna be about?” I don’t think I’ve ever done that. I don’t like forcing plots and ideas on myself. Other times I think I’ve been daydreaming and came up with a cool scenario or dialogue bit and then made my story from that.

    @bigideaskc *jumps up and down, squealing* STEAMPUNK IS SO AESTHETIC!! I love it!! And like… that steampunk green shade?? That’s kinda like a toned-down shamrock+lime?? *faints* And the copper and brass… *makes happy fox face*
