Let's get one thing clear now, shall we? There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central no Island of the Buried Best Sellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isn't to finds these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.

On Writing, S. King, p. 37
