How do ideas form?

There are two schools of thought about where ideas come from. One is the "artist as antenna" concept, in which ideas float in some barely perceptible aether waiting for someone to pick them up, the way a radio picks up a song when it's tuned to just the right frequency. This is Keith Richards waking up in the middle of the night with the main riff from "Satisfaction" fully-formed in his head.

The second school holds that ideas are the product of hard work and thoughtful concentration. "It's just work," says Andy Warhol to Lou Reed about songwriting in Reed's album, with John Cale, Songs for Drella. Sit down with a pad and pencil and think, and don't get up until you have something! This school is the writer grinding out his or her 4 pages a day, the mad poet storming up and down the street in search of the perfect word to express exactly what s/he's feeling, and the designer who sits down with a brief and just starts working.
