✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Have an Idea for a Real Story?

💡 New Ideas ~ Seeking A Breakthrough Idea?
Generate Ten ideas Every Day
The simplest, and yet the best way to generate great ideas is to generate LOTS of ideas. Out of quantity comes quality. Pick a topic each day. Then, generate ten ideas on that topic, off the top of your head. Don’t think about it too much. Just make a list from one to ten, then jot down your ideas. Keep all your ideas. You’ll be amazed at the results. We’re all creative. Sadly, mostly we ignore our creative intuitions. When you set out to deliberately generate a flow of ideas each day, you’ll strengthen your idea-generation muscles.
