I’m going to assume there’s a pretty good chance you want to write a book, right? But you don’t know where to start? Or you know exactlywhat you need to start—an idea—but you’re having trouble thinking one up?
That’s the thing about writing a book. You’re creating something big, a whole new world filled with characters and places and events that take a reader on an adventure they wish would never end. And that something big, that whole new world, those beloved characters and wish-they-were-real places, they all start from a single, small seed of an idea that then grows into the books we love and cherish.
So, how do you come up with an idea for a great story???
In The Write Idea, the first book in the 5M2P series, we’ll be looking at— —Idea versus story —Where ideas come from —Some writing myths and truths —How to collect ideas inspired by the world around you —How to create your own story ideas —How to ensure you choose the right idea for the right reasons —How to cultivate an idea and get a feel for its viability —Then we cover genre fiction and tropes, ending with a section about curiosity, creative spaces and a list of idea-related resources.
