I have a section in my notebook for interesting names, odd facts, books I should read, descriptions and funny phrases I hear while talking to people. Make your notebook work for you. If possible, know your editor's interests. Most magazine and book publishers have editors that handle specific areas. Cruise through past issues of magazines at the public library and determine what topics are getting the biggest play and try to analyze why.
Ideas are everywhere.
