  • Write to please yourself.

    Stan LeeStan Lee, creator of Marvel Comics superheroes, was interviewed by J. Rentilly for the December 2015 issue of The Costco Connection.

    Rentilly asked, “There are infinite theories about where creative ideas come from. Where do you think Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch or even the Destroyer, your very first comic book hero, comes from?”

    Stan Lee answered, “. . . you just think about it! You just sit down or walk around and probably have a big, dumb look on your face and you wonder, ‘What would I like to read? What kind of character would interest me?’”

    I like this part of his answer the best:

    “Please write stories that you think are great. Write to please yourself. That’s how I’ve always done it—not because I’m so desperate to please other people, but because I feel very genuinely that if I really love a story, then there must be a few other people out there who would love it too.”

    Marlene’s Musings: There you have it. From the Master. Just write!
