Some scribes have all the luck

JK Rowling got her idea for the Harry Potter extravaganza whilst on a train to Scotland. Margaret Mitchell penned the vibrant characters and beautiful world of Gone With The Wind when she broke her ankle and was holed up in her apartment all day.

Maybe that means that I'll be inspired to write The Next Great American Story while walking through the produce aisle. Or maybe not.

I won't lie. I'd love to be an author of children's books. Those people can write a one-page story, spread it out over 20 pages of illustrations, and make bucks aplenty.

How do these gorgeous masterpieces of literature just seem to appear out of thin air?
