In egypt game what did they call the lean-to-shed

Over the years since The Egypt Game

was first published, I’ve heard from a

great many readers. Their letters have

been wonderful, telling me how much

they enjoyed the book and how they

made up their own versions of the game,

and almost always asking me the

following question: “Where do you get

your ideas?”

That question is perhaps the one

fiction writers hear more frequently than

any other. But it’s the wrong question. A

better one would be “How do you getyour ideas?” Because getting story ideas

is pretty much a matter of habit—the

habit of taking interesting, but rather

ordinary, bits and pieces of reality and

building on them, weaving them together

until a story emerges. Ideas can come

from anywhere. Everyone has good

sources of ideas. But the building and

weaving part can be hard—fun and

exciting but also difficult anddemanding.
