Not sure how to brainstorm an idea?

​

If you’re new to this you might not think you have a story, but everyone has at least one amazing story to tell.

​

Try this: 

​

1. Create a list of 10 Things You've Wanted In Your Life (Childhood-Adulthood) (60 seconds)

2. Choose ONE Want– Create a list of 5 Obstacles You Faced To Fulfilling That Desire (60 seconds)

3. Choose one Obstacle – Create a list of 5 Solutions You Tried for Overcoming That Obstacle (regardless of whether you succeeded in achieving the want!) (60 seconds)

​

If you went back and explored every Desire/Obstacle/Solution combination, you would end up with 1000 POSSIBLE STORIES.

 

Remember this, anytime you tell yourself “I have no stories to tell.”

​

Clustering is also another great way to brainstorm. More info here:
