Coming up with story ideas

Guess what point we’re at? Writing a darn story!

At this point, we can’t begin a story without anidea.How one comes up with ideas is in itself as individual as the writer. Some people start with just a title (Dean Wesley Smith) and then start to write. Others will start with aplot point. Some want to think up something based off what is popular.

Like “I want a zombie book.” Or “I want to write a paranormal romance because they’rehot!”

Personally, I usually choose my story idea based off a gut...
