Andrew Hiller
Every story starts with either a "Ha!" or a "Hmmm..." Some idea has to tickle me or make me curious. It's the same whether I'm searching for stories as a reporter on public radio or writing fiction. I love why and how much more than who and what.
The other thing that usually happens is that a second idea emerges and it's the juxtaposition of these two ideas, their conflict, that sets the story in motion.
