How do you nudge your way into a story? How do you generate ideas?

Do you start with a childhood memory? A vintage photograph? An overheard conversation?

We all have our own way in. And our creative processes are as singular as fingerprints.

On today’s episode of Writer Unleashed, we’ll explore 4 steps so you can generate story ideas on tap.

You'll learn:

• The art of scratching for a small idea first.
• How to capture stray ideas.
• How to recycle and transform your ideas. 
• Why the early stages of idea generation feel a lot like goofing off and why it's more productive than you think. 
• How to stay open and receptive, and most importantly, trust your instincts.
