JUNE 3 Question: Do most of your story ideas come from one place (the news, dreams, etc.) or do they hit from all over the place?
ANSWER:
For me the ideas come from all over the place, a song, a book, a movie...sometimes even a stray what if...thought. Then it's a scramble for something to take notes on.
They are allowed to purculate until I absolutely have to write it down and at that it's a throw up draft, everything I know down on paper until it's time to create the outline.
These ideas usually happen when my mind wants to do anything other than focus on what I'm working on at that time. All these throw ups reside Alphabetically in three A5 ring binders or use at a future time.
Until next time, see you around the web Tww
Alphabetizing them - good idea!
ReplyDeleteSo true that letting our mind wander enhances creativity. Happy June, Bridgina!
ReplyDeleteHappy creating in June, Gina. I do throw up drafts and then write outlines too. Sometimes I just write to figure out what I'm trying to write. All the best to you!
ReplyDeleteGotta love old school binders.
ReplyDeleteHey, are you 76 and 78 on the list, or am I going nuts? Because 78 isn't working.
Sounds like you've got plenty of material to keep you busy! A throw up. I might have to adopt that term.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you get lots of ideas. I suppose the problem becomes-what becomes a story!
ReplyDeleteHappy IWSG, Day! I'm still making the rounds. 😂. I hope all is well with you!
