M. Kirin's Blog, page 613

Hi max! okay, so I have a question. I'm currently in university and I have a week to come up with a story idea. I don't want to force myself to come up with an idea that I don't connect with because I know I won't enjoy the writing process. Everytime I try

I have just the thing for you~ ♥︎

We actually think alike. I know myself too well, and if a story doesn’t appeal to me then I will never finish it. Simple as that :/

Over the years, and nearly ten books, I actually developed a system for brainstorming ideas and planning novels. It was such a successful post that I updated it last October before NaNoWriMo and turned it into a two-part video series! You can find it here:
