These are good ideas! Thanks!
Sometimes the most helpful advice comes from people who actually are learning to write well, as opposed to advice from people who are published authors.
(you have inspired me to lock myself up in my bedroom until I finish the Hotel Hoppers! I will do it soon!)

Love the idea about dreams - trouble is my dreams are forgotten after I've woken:
Now! what I like doing is, hearing a song and making a story for it. Example: The oldie, "We shared my umbrella" Great little romance Short Story. Another one: "I love Jennifer Eccles, "converted to I Love Dimity Fenchurch.
Runyard Kipling's Six Serving Men - you know, Who, What, Why, Where... servers as a good basis for a tale.
Take the old kindergarten sentence: The Cat Sat On The Mat and a murder story.
What Cat? Was it the house owner's, a stray cat? What color was it?
Why was it on the mat. Was the mat in the sitting room, bedroom, drawing room?
When was it there? At the time of the murder, was it a witness?
How did it get there? Was the door open, did it just stray in?...and so on... let the little grey cells work overtime.
Just thought i'd add my AUD$0.10 worth.
