“Unlocking the Silent Mystery: What Are We Overlooking That Could Change Everything?”
The tricky thing is to ask a “what if?” question that is just right. Not completely familiar. Not ridiculously bizarre. Just right.
A Little Exercise For You
- Make a list of some of your favorite novels.
- For each novel, what’s the “what if?” question the novel asked?
- In what way is that “what if?” question familiar—just like many other novels that came before it?
- In what way is that “what if?” question unfamiliar—unlike any other novel that came before it?
I hope this is helpful to you in working on your next novel.
