26: IDEA
“Hey, what’s the big idea?”
That phrase is specifically used when somebody does something that annoys the speaker. It’s not generally an invitation to explain your thinking.
Where do ideas come from? Given that all of these prompts are about suggesting ideas they’re a demonstration. Like “taking a line for a walk”, seeing where a prompt takes you.
One of my blogging party tricks, pioneered by Steve D, is putting together a run of adventure hooks based on a random-ish selection of phrases such as the titles of songs on an album. It’s actually easier to fully free associate if you don’t know the songs well. And it’s always a pleasure when I hear of somebody using one of the resulting ideas!
