Ryan Maloney spends 45 minutes to an hour filling a blank page with unorganized doodles and writing. He mines these chaotic scribbles for "idea nuggets," small coherent concepts he combines and recombines until they form the foundation for a book.

Here's where I get ideas for my books, or anything really. I force myself to sit down for 45 minutes to an hour just filling out a blank sheet of paper. Doodles, writings, drawings, anything goes on this. No organization. These ideas barely make sense, but every now and then you drop a little nugget and you can piece them together with other creative nuggets. Then you could smash those other creative nuggets together and eventually they might become a book.
