The number one question people ask writers is: Where do you get your ideas from? I've given up saying my imagination. Now I say I meet a person of restricted height named Eric in an alleyway once a month and hand him a brown envelope of cash, and he gives me the ideas. Then I tell him I'll see him the following month. People get excited when they hear this and say: 'Really???' And I say no. They hadn't noticed that I'd used my imagination again.
