Lesson 5: Write Your List Of Big Ideas

Get all those ideas out...

If you’re anything like me then you probably have a million different book ideas that have been brewing inside of you. Now is the time to get them all out on the page. The sky is the limit here. Don’t worry about the genre, the style, whether it is good or bad, or if it’s been done before. Just get it all out onto the page, so you can begin to see which one lights you up. Also, you might see some themes occur.

Step 1: Set a timer for 15 minutes and write down every book idea that comes to you. Don’t edit this or think too hard. Also, it’s okay if you repeat the same thing. That’s a sign you’re on to something.

Step 2: After you have finished, go through and cross out all but three that light you up.

Step 3: Keep these close by as you go through and narrow your ideas down even more.

This is going to be such a great help as you move forward in uncovering the book you’re meant to write now. Don’t worry, the other ideas aren’t lost forever, you just must choose one at a time to focus your creative energy.
