Debby and I have for the past few months had thoughts germinating about a new book that we’d like to work on together. What’s our new book about?
Well right now that’s a secret but we’ll post more information when the time is right. So stay tuned!
Our thoughts have been building up over the last few weeks. The other night, Debby put our thoughts down on paper and created a clear outline for our new book.
I started to think how new ideas are generated.
I’ve found deliberate thoughts on generating new ideas are less successful than when you’re in a “free-flow” discussion. This is the reason why brainstorming exercises work so well.
You’re using your intuitive, creative mind to generate ideas without interference from your conscious mind. Debby and I have found that free thought that arises from a relaxed, creative space often yields best results for coming up with new ideas.
You’ll find some great examples of brainstorming strategies at Gallaudet University page on “Pre-Writing Strategies.” Debby and I have successfully used many of these strategies to generate ideas for our current book, Nexus: A Neo Novel.
Now we’re using them to generate ideas for our new book. We tend to use “Brainstorm,” “Outline” and “Mapping” in generating ideas. Which one will you use to unleash your creative powers?
I thought I can give you some information on your project, if I understood you correctly.
You know I have written a story based on real story – around 70 pages – with my little knowledge of English. I am narrating it, and in between I prompted myself as a protagonist of sorts! It starts with present – go to flashback and then come back – go to flash back and ends up somewhere there.
I give you a link – you just ignore what I wrote in the beginning but start reading from the subheading of 13th July 1991
You will also see next part of it in the same pages – but after moving bit further. I have not completed it. I have the full story – If interested I can rewrite in these pages – you can change the language – I have some ending – which if you like – you can add it.
But then, after reading, don’t blame me, just ignore me if you are looking for some thing else.
