Cash In On Your Creative Idea Bank
When you were in kindergarten, you were given finger paints and blank paper and with them you created the images that were in your head. You made molding clay out of flour and baked tiny crooked sculptures for Mother’s Day. With sidewalk chalk, you drew whole worlds. Now that you’re older, where do you get your ideas from? The answer is: Everywhere. The right side of your brain may be stifled by alarm clocks and schedules, but it’s still alive and the smallest things in our daily lives can trigger it to create the idea for the next best seller. Television Who said that television rots your brain? With the variety of documentaries, biographies, and news shows on cable, you will never run out of things to write about. Combine details of what you learned on crime documentaries with the details of Chinese art in the 15th century and create a few characters by amalgamating a few of the jazz legends on the Biography channel and you’ve got yourself a great art heist set in the Harlem Renaissance. Print and Online Journals and Newspapers Pick your favorite news style: tongue in cheek, straight forward, expose, in depth. Online and in print you will be able to find as much as you can handle and much, much more. There is fake news and ‘strange but true’ news. There are in depth studies of current and historical events. There are articles that are timely on every subject under the sun. Blogs A click away from your favorite news articles are ten blogs discussing that news article. Blogs are online discussions that people can post to, supporting discussion on everything from how the news was reported to dissenting opinions on what exactly the news is. Whether you decide to post and join the discussion or not, take a look at what people have to say. They may present a viewpoint or opinion that may turn into the basis of your next novel. The People Around You When friends and family talk, listen. Take note of what’s going on in their lives, what’s important to them. Find the universal concern at the center and you have motivation for 1000 stories. The same goes for people you don’t know. That’s right. This is your permission to eavesdrop. The couple behind you in line at the bank, the girl on her cell phone walking down the street beside you, the mother and her child in the grocery store. Make note of dialect, slang, word choice and sentence structure. All of these will help make your dialogue authentic and your characters more real. An offhand comment made by a stranger could become the first line of your next news feature. Yourself You are the most interesting person you know. You have secrets, past lives, childhood stories, teenage angst, adult melancholy and desire. You know yourself inside and out and the things that happen to you will inform everything you write from the obvious (memoirs) to the not so obvious (historical pieces or feature items). It’s impossible to avoid, so embrace it. Your experience defines you. Allow it to shape your writing and create a voice that is unlike any other - For a more in-depth explanation of the ghostwriting process, click here. For pricing details, click here.
