Learn to Listen

Everywhere you go, questions people ask, pictures and words on walls, etc. will connect with your story.

Example:

The unusual first name of my main character is shared by a baseball player in my hometown.  A picture of that player was on the wall of the room I was in for work.  A room I had never been in before...the owner of this particular production company I was working for that day walked in just as I looked up from the picture and immediately it clicked...this owner had the exact personality I was writing in my character.

Four to five "signs" a day will suggest something in your story.
