It’s been awhile since I did a casual blog, so I figured, why not? I had a few gifts to package from BookCon and needed to do the Writing Ideas Tag that was created by the wonderful Brooke Passmore and Bethany Atazadeh. And I tag…well, everyone! See the tag questions below so you can participate!

Story Idea Writing Tag Questions:

1.CURRENT STORY: What is your current story idea that you’re working on right now?

2. SPARK OF INSPIRATION: Do your ideas begin with characters, plot, world building, or something else entirely?

3.BRAINSTORM: How do you puzzle piece your story elements together? Do you start with the ending and make your way to the beginning or vice versa?

4. KEEP OR TOSS: How do you know when you want to keep or dump a story idea?

5. ORIGINAL IDEA: How much of your original idea for your story is actually used once everything is finished?

6. HIDE OR SHARE: Do you share your book ideas with friends or keep them a secret?

7. DREAM: Have any of your book ideas originated with a dream/nightmare?

8. DOPPLEGANGER: Have you ever had an idea for a story but then see a similar premise in a book/tv-show/movie?

9. BIG SCREEN INSPIRATION – Have any of your favorite movies/tv shows sparked ideas for scenes in your book?

10. NOSTALGIA: What’s the oldest/first story idea you remember coming up with/writing down?
