An idea or a character floats into my mind and takes up residence there. Then it kind of starts to ferment, a bit like wine! The secret, I have found, is not to fret about it but to be patient while it grows in my subconscious. Then it gradually resolves itself into a more defined shape and starts to take on a life of its own.
