Here are a couple of practical notes for you if you decide to use movies as your source of inspiration. In the DVD age most movies include the trailers or previews that the studio put out to promote the movie you’re watching. These are basically the attention grabbing scenes and are the movie equivalent of a headline or title and I’ve found they can be very helpful. Also, once the inspiration for a post hits you, pause the movie and go write. Don’t wait until the movie is over, get writing right away. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had a great idea for a post half way through the movie, only to forget it by the time I sat down to write it after the movie ended.
