Brain Storm Techniques to Help You Create New Fiction Story Ideas!

My unique and creative brain storm techniques will help you come up with new fiction story ideas to write about if you happen to run out of ideas. Develop new story ideas by using fiction brainstorming techniques geared toward writers. You can call it on-demand idea generation!

Brainstorming is needed in the course of everyone's career when you find a point where the ideas just stop coming to your mind! If you have ever reached a null in your writing career, you definitely know what I'm talking about. Sometimes writers need a little boost to get them going in the right direction again.

My exclusive creative brain storm techniques are used to set your imagination in motion to get you thinking about new story ideas. Whenever you reach a point with your writing when you are stuck waiting, such as waiting for a book to be proofread or published, it's very bad for you to stop writing during that waiting period! This is very important for every writer to understand. You need to keep your writing machine fresh and working. Keep exercising your mind so you don't freeze up your brain from writing.

Avoid total separation from writing if at all possible. Taking too long of a break from your writing may cause writer's block, a serious crutch in your writing process that is definitely damaging to your productivity. And believe me, this block (a demotivate of sorts) can suspend your writing activities for an undetermined amount of time. So, during your downtime or wait time, you should be constantly thinking up new story ideas and taking action on those thoughts right away.

In order to start using brain storm techniques, you need to set up a brainstorming area in your home or favorite place to write. Clear the area of all distractions (kids, pets, music, computers, spouse, telephone, and open windows).

All you should have on your desk is a pen or pencil, several blank sheets of paper, a comfortable chair, and yourself. It is very important that you write using a pen or pencil, not on a computer. There is a connection between the subconscious part of your brain and your fingers that can't be transposed using the keyboard of a computer.

To begin, turn the lights off and close your eyes. Totally clear your mind of everything. Take deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Do this for three minutes, then turn the light on.

The Following is a Series of Questions You Can Ask Yourself to Start Your Imagination Flowing:

1. What subject of fiction am I totally passionate about? (murder mystery, sci fi, romance...)

2. What part of that subject interests me the most?

3. In that sub-subject, what possible scenarios can I write about?

You should be writing the answers down on the blank sheets of paper. Don't just write on or two words or one answer for each of the questions. Write down as many answers as you can for each question.

Continuing on with brain storm techniques, determine which of all of your previous answers is your favorite ones. Choose one favorite answer for each question. Once chosen, turn the lights back off and close your eyes. Think only about the favorite answers you wrote down. Remember to take deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Turn the light back on in three minutes and take your favorite scenario from your list of answers and think about a plot that would best fit that scenario.

4. What is my plot?

5. What possible actions can happen to captivate my readers based on that plot?

6. What kind of characters would best fit with this plot?

Okay, take a little break. Leave the room for at least ten minutes to reset your mind. When you come back to your room, turn the lights off and repeat your breathing exercises to relax. Only think about the idea thought up during your brain storm techniques.

Now, turn the light back on. Take that subject, sub-subject, scenario, plot, action, and potential character ideas and write several keywords or phrase for each of them. Simply write down words and phrases that come to your mind regarding everything about the idea you thought up. Do this for a minimum of three minutes.

Once you have several keywords and phrases written down, turn the lights back off, relax and think about those keywords. Let them run through your mind for a few minutes. Turn the lights back on and circle the words and phrases that ran through your mind the most while you were relaxing. These are your trigger words.

From the preceding brain storm techniques, start writing a description of your new story. Use the primary keywords and phrases from your keyword crunch to build the description. The description should be about 2 to 3 paragraphs and give a brief overview of what you want your entire story to be about.

Once you have a description written and you basically know what your book will be about, write an introductory paragraph to set the scene, mood, and setting for your story. Once an introductory paragraph is written, you have successfully started a new story using brain storm techniques.

Proceed by creating a basic outline for your book about all of the things you want to happen in your story in sequential order. This can either be in a basic chapter by chapter breakdown (write one paragraph about what happens in each chapter) or you can write a timeline from start to finish. Build your plot from start to finish, high points and low points.

Now, get to writing your new fiction story while the thoughts are fresh in your brain!
