“Here’s a quick way to get ideas from research: Choose a nonfiction book on some subject you always wanted to know about. Skim the book for an overview. Jot down plot ideas that come to you. Read the book in greater detail. Spot more ideas, and flesh out those you already have. Do this, and soon your heart will connect with some bit of data that fires you up.” (James Scott Bell, Write Great Fiction – Plot & Structure)
