Today's blog is a guest post from my friend, and fellow My Book Therapy Core Team member, Michelle Lim. Her new book on brainstorming is a great resource for writers and I'm excited to introduce her to you today!
Brainstorming, a Tool for ALL Writers!
by Michelle Lim
Brainstorming is an essential tool for writers in all
different areas of their career. I often hear people ask me, “How do you come
up with blog topics?”
My ideas often come from the inspiring things in my world, physical as well as visual. I love to go and look at different online pictures.
Sometimes they inspire blogs I’ve written like, DoYou Have What It Takes to Be Chicken?
Other times, I look at my life and draw inspiration from my
kids, family and house. These have inspired blogs like, Rearrangingthe Furniture: How to Rearrange Words To Give Them Punch.
Events are also helpful in planning blog topics. I look for things that are important to my audience, paying particular attention to what's going on in the world around us. That’s why blogs on conferences, the
Olympics, and writing contests are all popular.
