I've had several conversations today that have led me to this question:
What was the initial spark of inspiration for a story you've finished, and what did the initial, rudimentary development process look like?
I tend to hit the ground running on stories inspired by a flash vision of a character in a difficult situation, and that particular scene usually comes off pretty well, but building a 3 act structure and 50k+ more words around that hasn't been particularly successful.
Id love to hear some firsthand experiences of the spark of inspiration resulting in a completed work. If nothing else, I think the recollections would be super motivating for those of us hitherto unpublished.
