Where do ideas come from, and how do you choose which idea to run with? Today we talk about the infamous, brainless sea squirt, how no idea is an original idea, and what our own personal process is in deciding which idea to forge ahead with. Also, Shawn vents about a recent review (having to do with the idea behind his last novel, These Nameless Things), and Maile somehow pulls in a reference to that great 1987 Sylvester Stallone movie, Over the Top.
