Movie ideas come to me when I do something new or different from the usual daily stuff. Dreams are also helpful, but changing my location is the best inspiration (and motivation). It may work another way for you, but it won't hurt if you try.
Let your mind wander! Let yourself feel good! Take it easy every once in a while! Simply walk down a street you have never been before! Listen to the birds or a train! Inhale and exhale loudly! Let the sunshine on your face!
My method to get my creative juices flowing is to observe everything silently and always take notes when my inner nerd is talking. I play with my ideas. I say them out loud to hear how they sound. No, it's not weird at all. You all should try it!
My stories have real-life examples in them from my own timeline. 'True story' would be a little harsh to state, but the seed is there. It's challenging to combine fiction with non-fiction. A personal connection to a script is much better than just some random idea.
Focus on what moves you! That's one of the best pieces of advice I have heard in a decade. I'm working on stories that bring a high level of authenticity to my writing.
What can happen next? What will happen next? - Most people go crazy to find that out. This makes a script a good one. Now get back to writing!
your fellow screenwriter,
