Where Story Visions Come From

Now that I’ve been writing full time for nearly 5 months, I can’t remember the last time I was this happy with my professional choice. I love exploring new ideas, and revisiting ones I’ve had in my head for so long I didn’t know if I’d ever have the chance to let them out. And, I’m getting so much better at letting my imagination run free.
While writing a story about a friend, and to recreate a poem I knew I’d written in my early 20s, but couldn’t quite remember, I contacted people I hadn’t seen in 30 years, or messaged in 10 years.
While I did get those, I got so much more. Reconnecting after so long, sparked visions for stories around fate, a topic I’ve always been interested in writing about.
So now I ponder, did fate lead me to connect with these two so I could write about fate? hmmmm
