Devious plan, I know.īut how? It is said that you should get your protagonist up a tree, then throw rocks at him, and then get him down safely. Ready? “I’m writing a book.” (Thanks for humoring me.) I know I’m going to have to come up with many chapters, and each one will have an opening hook of some kind, and then the sentences will have to build on the tension in such a way that the reader is lured into the deep, dark recesses of my protagonist’s journey until the end of the chapter where it should be clear that I’ve tricked the reader into wanting to read the next chapter. The most important part though is to get the ideas out of your head so you can use them.
CREATIVE JUICES HOW TO
Other times, it’s me and a couple of friends with tape measures in one hand and a coffee in the other talking through our plans for how to build a sturdy frame. Sometimes, this takes the form of writing my thoughts onto sticky notes and pasting them on the wall in front of me so I can rearrange them or add to them. Some of the most enjoyable projects I’ve worked on, whether writing a fiction novel, trying to solve a challenging issue at work, building a deck, or trying to get out of an escape room before the timer runs out, have all involved brainstorming. I started thinking about “Five Ways to Describe Your Character,” or “Three Ways to Create Tension,” and then “Four Ways to Stimulate the Creative Juices.” I was throwing these titles around, and then it hit me-THAT is the topic! “How to Create a Topic”!
While trying to come up with a topic to blog about, I started throwing ideas around in my head.
