Jeannie asked B.M.B. Johnson:

How do you get your ideas?


B.M.B. Johnson Hi Jeannie.
Ah, the burning question all writers must face. The real answer is "I have no idea where the ideas come from." burning question all writers must face. The real answer is "I have no idea where the ideas come from."

In the case of the Melody Jackson books, I was writing about my childhood. I'm trying to fulfill a nostalgic need. So the ideas come from life, and are spiced up a bit.

Formula: Real Life + dump in some monsters + add some jokes = stories sort of write themselves.
