Getting Ideas for a Story
Notes before you start
Always, always, always keep a notebook or sketch pad with you. You may come up with a random idea and want to jot it down. If you have no immediate access to a paper and pen, pull out a cell phone, or other electronic and find a place to save it on that.
Also, when you get in a comic/story writing mood, focus on it, and think about it all the time when you aren't with people. If you have friends who will listen, bounce some ideas off them.
