Jon Klassen&#8217;s book <i>The Skull<\/i> began with a folktale in a library in Alaska that Jon read while waiting to do a presentation. He put the book back on the shelf, but afterwards thought about the story, remembered the story, reimagined the story. Eventually he&#8217;d remade the story. He contacted the Alaskan Library and tracked down the original tale, and it was wildly and disappointingly different to the story of Otilla and the Skull that he&#8217;d made. So a badly remembered thing can lead to a good thing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;IM FELL French Canon&quot;; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;\">A Start can be with an escaped<br \/>\nstory; and an ending can become a beginning.

One way to collect ideas is to draw. Draw to explore: to go ideas-fishing. Drawing pulls out more ideas like pulling out fish from a dark bottomless lake. Ideas happen while you are drawing, the act of drawing makes ideas happen. I always use the scrappiest paper possible no nothing matters, this does not have to be a good drawing.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684\"><span
