How do I get story ideas? At any given time, I probably have hundreds of story ideas which I keep in a list and right now range from: sicario actor notes, “el negocio del odio,” tuna cowboys and “the best feeling is a tutu with nothing on underneath.” I get story ideas from graffiti, overheard conversations, wandering the streets of Mexico City - basically anything that intrigues me. For me, the issue is managing my ideas because if I don’t control them and focus, I will get distracted. I learned long ago that I cannot execute all my ideas, so I have to pick the best ones. But the beautiful thing is that I maintain and LOVE my list of ideas. I doubt there will ever be a moment in my life where I don’t have a story idea. You have to know yourself and let your curiosity be organic. I don’t program myself to look for newsy topics because that isn’t the kind of writing I’m interested in.
