“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit” - J. R. R. Tolkien
That is just how all good things start; with a small idea that grows. Same with anything creative.
He referred to the whole legundarium as growing from a single small idea. I don’t know if we know what it was, but it started that way.
Same for Game of Thrones by G.R.R. Martin… He’s stated that the whole story started from a vision of the “king’s party comes across a dead direwolf surrounded by her whimpering pups and the stag that pierced her chest” scene.
Guilty. Though it usually stays in my head so I can go back and re”wtite” it over and over until I accidentally make huge plotholes but I like the scenes that cause plotholes so time to redo THOSE while trying to not make the scene suck. Rinse and repeat.
Oh look it’s me and my sexual fantasies
I’ve never seen my creative side explained so eloquently lol
“Excerpts from a book I’ll never write”
Me every time I try to write a song
Oh shit, my ranger. And my rogue. And my paladin. And my artificer. And my etc.
