Anywhere and everywhere. Take the last idea I had for instance. It came from talking to two friends about commercials we hated. A certain car dealership came up and the concept below was born. It was only a matter of days before I had the pre-writing done and I was ready to start the first draft.
Pandamonium
All Dru Atkins wants is to get her degree in Comparative Symbology in Art–never mind that no employer needs such a degree. That’s not the point, not after the university regents have changed her degree checklist four times in the last three years to accommodate the only other student with that degree, Lewis King, the university president’s son. Besides, maybe it’s not necessarily the major but just having a degree that will get her away from her sister who is more like a tattooist’s coloring book than a human and her mother who insists on flashing Dru’s picture on luvkin.com to meet men Dru’s age. And then there is Billy Hubbard, her psycho ex-boyfriend who blames the guy in the panda costume at Bud Geiser’s Auto Emporium for Dru breaking up with him, which Dru could live with if Billy wasn’t trying to assassinate the panda. No, Dru has enough to think about without meeting and falling in love with the only normal person in her world–Mike Smith. Of course Mike knows what he wants, Dru, and isn’t about to give up that easily.
