Where is the best place to find writing ideas? According to Merry Goodman, a romance writer, the answer is simple: real life. In this interview at The Write Practice, Merry shares her thoughts about finding story ideas in everyday life and gives practical advice for ALL writers.
Are you tired of ZOOM video chats? Do you still have too much screen time? Are you becoming more distanced from those you love? Maybe you should try writing letters.

It just might be time to find that stationery hidden in the desk drawer!
