Episode 39: How to Brainstorm Ideas from Scratch – A Workshop

Show Notes for Episode 39: How to Brainstorm Ideas from Scratch – A Workshop

Staring at the blank page can be scary, frustrating and it’s easy to walk away from writing to do anything that seems easier.  Dishes, video games, an entire spring cleaning, taking apart an engine…  Who knows.

Brainstorming ideas can be fun, invigorating and inspiring!  And you don’t have to “wait for inspiration” or the “perfect mood” to hit.  You can put yourself in that mood very easily.

So follow along with Holly and I as we go through 6 of 10 prompts, doing two ideas each from scratch for these prompts and always making sure to cover what Holly refers to as the Four P’s.  We’d love for you to join us in the forums and share some of your odd, fun, funky, beautiful, heartbreaking or cheerful story ideas!

The last four prompts:

  • What professional realizes the job is suddenly different?
  • What wish comes true with unexpected results?
  • What day doesn’t happen… and why?
  • What person loses the most important thing in his/her life?

After the episode: Have something to say? A question to ask? Jump into the FREE forums at HollysWritingClasses.com (no purchase or ownership of courses necessary) and share with us.
