I think I am on something. I have a germ of an idea. I don't know if it will develop even further. At least, it can be the base for an unknown undeveloped story. Until now, I thought you tube could be a waste of time most of the time. There are some video that are really worth viewing for their instructional purpose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtQkWPrq4oA&index=16&list=WL

can be good example on good interesting and informative video. They show techniques for jewelry making. I have seen the first two person on the first two videos elsewhere. I know they are well known in jewelry making. Right with that, I should have been inspired by that. But with the recent idea I have, it wasn't the case.
My recent idea is related with writing and was triggered by fringe ideas. I should not waste time on that, I know. The plain truth is ideas comes from anywhere, without being asked. Thinking of it, conspiracy theories could be the basis for great speculative science fiction and alternate history. Those concocting these theories probably have facts they say are true. I can't say if they are right or not. I don't really care what they think. I just know that sometimes, a weird idea can become a great story. Fiction, as in science fiction and fantasy, have a broad spectrum. We can play with it ad nauseum.
I never expected to be inspired by fringe ideas. I didn't asked for it. It just happened. Now, I don't know if the idea will develop even further. There is a folklore idea I would like to attach to it. I just don't know yet how they would be liked together without falling into cliché. I don't want to go into easy solution and quick easy techno babble.
I have notes on that idea. Now, I have to let it evolve, I hope a story will develop out of it.
