John Backman
I suspect a lot of contemplatives would answer this way: in the course of my prayer and journaling and reflection, ideas bubble to the surface. Sometimes it's a straight line: my morning prayer will bring something to the surface that requires some journaling, the journaling whelps an article idea, etc. Sometimes it feels more random: driving seems to bring up a lot of ideas, and so does showering. It's a strange process, this writing business.
