How do you develop ideas for your stories, and how do you decide with ones are novel-worthy?

The initial idea will just come to me, usually at the most random times. Then it's just a matter of brainstorming to develop the idea into a story. I find that asking myself questions helps.

As far as deciding if an idea is novel worthy or not - I feel like the idea will answer this question for you when brainstorming. Often times an idea that you initially thought would be a great book ends up just being a feature in another book idea. (less)

Oh, the MC in your medieval fantasy book is getting a call on their cell phone? Who's on the other line?
Nonsense is great, as it really opens up the gateway for creativity. Have fun with it!(less)
