Unlock the Secret Trick Every Successful Novelist Uses to Generate Unstoppable Writing Ideas
- Hit the bookstore or library and jot down some of your favorite plot synopses. Then rework the details to transform these old plots into fresh ideas for new stories. Try combining different elements from your favorite stories. And use movie synopses too!
- Load up on fiction writing prompts and develop each prompt into a short (one page) summary for a story.
- Harvest some creative writing ideas from the news.
- Grab a subplot from your favorite movie or TV show — a story line that wasn’t fully explored — and make it the central story problem.
Create a stash file for your ideas. It can be a folder on your computer or a box you fill with 3×5 index cards. You can also write all these ideas in a notebook. Just make sure you keep them together so you can easily go through them.
