Brain Storm Techniques to Help You Create New Best Selling Ideas!Brain storm techniques you can use to learn how to foster new ideas to write about. Brainstorming is needed in the course of everyone's career when you find a point where the ideas just stop! You know what I'm talking about. Sometimes people need a little boost to get them going again. My creative thinking plan is used to set your imagination into motion to get you thinking about new story ideas. Whenever you reach a point of rest with your writing, such as waiting for a book to be proof read or published, don't stop 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. So, during your downtime, you should be thinking up new story ideas. 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? Now, take your favorite scenario from the list and think about a theme that would best fit that scenario. 4. What is my theme? 5. What possible actions can happen to captivate my readers based on that scenario? 6. What action do I like the best? Take that subject, sub-subject, scenario, and action and write a keyword of phrase for each of them. Once they are written out, find a quiet place, sit down, and write as many corresponding words and phrases you can think of. Don't stop writing until a half an hour has elapsed or your hand hurts so bad that it starts to cramp. From the preceding brain storm technique, start writing a description of you new story. Use words and phrases from your word crunch to build from. The description should be about 2 to 3 paragraphs and give a brief overview of what you want your story to be about. Write an introductory paragraph to set the scene, mood, and theme for your story. Once an introductory paragraph is written, you have successfully started a new story. Proceed by creating a basic outline for your book (nothing fancy) about all of the things you want to happen in your story in sequential order. Now, get to writing your new story!
