Brainstorm #11: Evil Plot, Part III
Ready to write your novel?
Grab a journal or your computer and follow along. Each week a new group of prompts will be posted from the book "Brainstormers: Outlining Your First Draft." When finished you will have brainstormed the outline of your novel including the details of each chapter.
On average each prompt is given about 3 minutes to complete though some are shorter and some are longer as needed. If a prompt inspires you and you need more time, pause the video until you finish or simply keep writing and go back and finish the rest of the prompts later. If a prompt doesn't fit your book or doesn't inspire you, spend the time writing down other details about your story. Ask yourself questions about your characters and setting and write down the possibilities. Also if you have music that you prefer, simply hit mute and play your own music as you brainstorm. Just make sure to check for the new prompts.
Short writing exercises will be posted a few days after the brainstorms when one is provided in the book. Sometimes you may have no idea what to write. Just keep trying to picture some area of your story. Write something even if it is just a simple description of your character or a short scene from your story. And don't get bogged down in details. If you don't yet know a name, place, or other detail just put in an "x" for now and keep writing.
Enjoy the brainstorming process. The goal is to come up with ideas and possibilities. What you put down is not written in stone. Don't worry if you are not certain of an idea or if some of your ideas conflict with each other. During the brainstorm let the ideas flow. At the end of each brainstorm, you will go back over your ideas and choose the ones that are best for your novel.
Have a free weekend or the perfect writing day and can't wait for the next prompt vlog?
