Story ideas grow out of the most bizarre things. For me I get a picture in my head then tumble it around with a lot of other ideas or cross breed it with something I've heard or read. About a month ago I had a picture of a girl hiding inside a wall (yeah, I'm weird) and I'd crossed it with a home invasion idea. Then over on Rara Avis they started talking about motel noir and my story morphed into this http://www.pulppusher.com/#/sseamans2/4534952635
Where do your ideas come from? And how weird do you get when you're writing?

Most of my ideas come from listening to the radio, listening to a c.d., walking around town, talking to people and what not.
I think the two funkiest ideas I've come up with so far was writing a story about two stop signs, and writing a story based on a syringe.
Now, two stop signs and a syringe could make for an interesting read, G.

Fun stories, G. Thanks for sharing the links.
You are most welcome.
Sandra, an excellent story! Fifteen minutes of bliss.
As for ideas, most times they just appear out of nowhere. I have some 'wierd' scenarios that cannot go into my novel manuscripts, so I'm thinking perhaps some flash fiction.
Flash fiction is great for those wierd ideas. If they don't work out, you haven't lost a lot of work.
