      I was once asked not long ago from a friend and fellow writer, how I come up with my ideas for my stories. I told him that for me, it starts with a scene in my mind and I branch out from there. 

     Most of the material I write are based from dreams that I've had in the past where a particular situation had occured, which looks like a scene from a movie, and I wake up remembering details of the dream. If it seems interesting enough to write a story about, I quickly write down everything I can remember about the dream then begin the Question and Answer segment breaking down those scenes. This goes into a file I have for my stories called  RESEARCH AND NOTES.  From there, I kinda work backwards and  build an outline for the story and the segments I envision during my dream could be the Beginning, Middle, or End of this story. And to me, that's when the "Magic" happens. The beautiful part about imagination and creativity.
