Hi Jon! Interesting list. As for the magazine question: travel, craft, and. . . home decor? I don’t know if that TOTALLY works in my case (but certainly, it sort of works, and I’m not an avid magazine buyer), but it’s an interesting idea. I have periodically made lists of things that I love, things that “light my mind on fire” to sort of remind myself of what subjects, ideas, etc, are most interesting and appealing to me. There are the big obvious ones, but I find if I force myself to make a really long list, I come up with all kinds of interesting LITTLE things, and they start bumping into each other and gelling into story ideas. I’ve gotten a couple of really cool story ideas that way recently (but have not written the stories!)

Jon,
Thanks for this great list. I started bookmarking each interesting one in my Favorites folders, then decided to bookmark the entire article! This will be a monumental help for someone like me who lives in a very rural area with few resources for reference!
