How do you come up with your ideas?
The best ideas come in the form of ‘vertical thinking.’ That is, like a bolt out of the blue. Horizontal thinking can also produce ideas, but usually that method means a lot of time working out the metaphor. I’m currently working on a book of metaphors that will target writers and artists. It will help people come up with original ideas by rethinking and recombining clichés.
