The Finding Story Ideas Workbook

You need story ideas to write stories. But, unfortunately, sometimes you find yourself staring at a blank page, at a loss about what to write.

How to Outline for Creative Writing

Outlining can be something that’s intimidating for a lot of writers. When we think about outlines, we think about long, complicated documents where all the fun and mystery of writing has been removed.

But an outline doesn’t need to be like that! An outline is a living document whose sole purpose is to support you, the writer, in the creation of your project.

In this book, we’ll discuss what an outline is, why you want one, and how to know how much outlining is right for you. Then we’ll go through different outlining techniques before touching on using outlines for revision and troubleshooting outlining issues.

Come find out what works for you!

Every night, Eva Martinez dreams about the same man. During the day she tries to convince her mother she knows what she’s doing with her life—but it would help if Eva actually believed it.

It’s been centuries since Michael has had a real reason to live. After the loss of his love, nothing keeps his interest for very long—not even his friends, dabbling at being human.

When Eva and Michael meet, it awakens something in both of them. Eva’s dream-man-turned-real completes her in ways she’s never thought possible, and Michael feels his fire start to return.

 

But Michael's kind—angels—are forbidden to join with humans. And Eva has attracted the attention of Michael’s ancient enemy—the one who took his first love from him. He couldn't protect her, so he's determined not to let the same fate befall Eva. But can their relationship survive all he’s not telling her?

Story ideas can strike anywhere. It can be a character, a plot, an overheard conversation--literally anything. Typically we as writers just jot them down somewhere and then hope we can find that spot when we need that idea later.

This pocket book is designed to be small and easily portable, so you can keep it with you for when inspiration strikes. It is also divided into sections so you can organize your ideas as you get them.

This book can be used on its own or in conjunction with How to Find Story Ideas and The Finding Story Ideas Workbook.

City of Hope and Ruin

City of Hope and Ruin cover

Every night the monsters hunt. 

A city that is the whole world: Theosophy and her companions in the City militia do their best to protect the civilians from the monsters, but they keep crawling from the Rift and there’s nowhere to run. Theosophy knows she’ll die fighting. It’s the best kind of death she’s seen, and at least she can save lives in the meantime. 

They say the Scarred carve you up while you’re still alive. 

A village in the shadow of a forest: Refugees from the border whisper about the oncoming Scarred, but Briony can’t convince her brother to relocate his children to safety. Briony will do anything to protect them. She owes them that much, even if it means turning to forbidden magic. 

When Theosophy and Briony accidentally make contact across the boundaries of their worlds, they realize that solutions might finally be within reach. A world beyond the City would give Theosophy’s people an escape, and the City’s warriors could help Briony protect her family from the Scarred. Each woman sees in the other a strength she lacks—and maybe something more. 

All they need to do is find a way across the dimensions to each other before their enemies close in.
