What are some of your most reliable ways of getting and cultivating inspiration for new stories?

The best thing I know is getting OUT into the messy world and feeding your brain with new perspectives. Visiting a museum, wandering down a nonfiction section in the library, taking long walks in unknown neighborhoods, visiting a cave, visiting a hole-in-the-wall nighttime food spot and watching the characters who come in and out. Anything to feed the mind ...except sitting at the desk.

Hey! I heard you used to have a podcast, what was that like? I'd be very interested to listen, if you know where it's hosted!

I've had a few. Here's one that's easy to find: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnV07MNz9Ubo_ShpgCCGuWTX-I5h9orEF

I have a very rough idea in my head that I don't think I can clearly articulate beyond "And that concludes tonight's reports on German air forc—WHAT'S THIS? IT'S KING ARTHUR WITH A STEEL CHAIR"

[the-writers-wrench]

IDK what this is about, but I want to know more.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

This isn't exactly the same idea but it could be but there is more rattling around in here so:

The Blitz here manages to qualify as Britain's Darkest Hour, thus triggering the return of Arthur from the Realm Avalon.

He does not speak a lick of modern English. He speaks an unholy mishmash of Brittonic and Late Classical Latin.

(Honestly I can see the latter becoming a plot point if they manage to get their hands on a Roman Catholic priest to act as a translator. It wouldn't be a perfect arrangement, but probably better than anything else.)

Truthfully he probably gets mistaken for a madman.

Somehow manages to steal a Spitfire out from under the RAF's nose, proceeds to use it to bring down like half an enemy squadron on his own, then lands in a field in the middle of nowhere.

Police and RAF converge on his location on account of the whole "stealing a plane" thing. They eventually overwhelm him with sheer numbers, but he manages to knock out an impressive number of them in the process. I mean, come on. It's Arthur.

[leseigneurdelorage]

"a catholic priest" i mean yeah sure why not but JRRTOLKIEN himself was alive and a teacher at the time so go big or go home.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

You know what sure why not let's just make literal real-life JRRT himself a character in this Arthurian return story, he deserves it.
