A Transcript of... Ideas 01 Brainstorm |
|
Today on Writing Tips for Content Creators we're going to start a new series on generating ideas and research. You may know what TOPIC to write about, but how do you come up with WHAT to write about that topic? Let's explore some ways to generate ideas, starting with... 1. Brainstorm To Get Other Folks' Ideas. Whether you get family members, a group of friends, or other writers together, brainstorming is a wonderful way to beat Writer's Block. When you are stuck, make brainstorming fun. You can sit and just start throwing ideas out or make a game by putting ideas in a hat and then passing it around to read or act out. We call this a "mastermind" session. And you'd be absolutely amazed at how productive it can be. Folks throw out ideas that you never even thought of. They offer opinions that you weren't even close to considering. Why? Because they think differently than you do. And that can be a good thing. Are you having trouble with generating ideas for your info product, or expanding upon what you are already writing about? Get a group of folks together (or even ONE person is a start) and ask questions. Explain what you are writing about and ask for suggestions, ideas and opinions. Voila -- with the wave of a magic wand, you've got more ideas and a fresh perspective to write from. |
