Thank you to Schnujo's now Cujo -- Run! for bringing up the Day 1 Brainstorming Sesh! You just earned the distinction of being the first 2024 October Novel Prep Fairy Dust Recipient! (Is anyone surprised? )
Every good story starts with a 'what if'. What if a young boy discovers he's a wizard? What if a girl discovers a world hidden inside her wardrobe? What if there was a cemetery where buried pets came back to life? What if dinosaurs were alive again?
In this exercise, imagine your story and your main character(s). Who is(are) the character(s)? What happens to them, and why is it a problem? (If it's not a problem, it's just life, not a story. )
Spend at least 15 minutes imagining all the possibilities in your story. Make a list of every possible 'what if' you can think of. Nothing is off limits here - let your brain go.
