I get ideas from all over the place. Normally an idea will be very vague and niggle at me for a while before I can make any sense of it. The idea for the Dragon Orb series came from an argument. I said that dragons had been overdone - the person I was arguing that dragons could never be overdone. Her internet name was Dawn Dragon. Her name sparked a little idea for a story about a dawn dragon ... and a day dragon, a night dragon and a dusk dragon. I think it's all about opening your mind being ready to latch on to one little thing that you can then mess about with and allow to grow. I hope that makes sense. Mark Hi Dan.

Where do they come from? Do you have any tips, not for writing but for getting ideas. Or perhaps do they just come from you. Please help. Dan Hi,

Your name could be either. When I think of Maxine, I think of someone who is quite wealthy, but the surname Rodman made me think initially of chimney sweeps! I just had a quick look online and it turns out that a Rodman was a surveyor's assistant, which seems a more likely root of the name. If your story is modern, then there is no reason why the name could not belong to either rich or poor, but given the root of the family name, I'd say it would fit best with a character who was neither - more middle class.
