On car trips I took the last few weeks, I tuned in to public radio more often than in the past.
One thing I learned from the interview there of the author of "Eye of the Whale" is that he wrote his book to answer a question for himself. So, that is one more way to think of a topic for writing a book: pose a philosophical question.
Also, I realized that I need LOTS more training before I undertake that project. I saw a blog entry from Martha Alderson, and she addresses that very point. She talks about writers' egos getting in the way of learning more about the structure of the craft in her August 9 post of www.plotwhisperer.blogspot.com
Back to National Public Radio...Garrison Keillor has a show wherein he has poetry read there too. Film reviews also can be found. Quite the resource and entertainment...
