I’ve been doing storystorm since it was Picture Book Idea Month way back in the olden days. This year was the first year I didn’t do it, partly because I have such a gigantic hoard of ideas to sort through. 63 is an impressive number. I think the most I’ve collected in a month is fifty something.

I don't think I'll be needing to do it next year that's for sure. I actually completely forgot, but I was doing another ideas challenge at the same time through a Discord I'm a member of, so I was doing both at the same time, which is why I ended up with so many ideas! Do you go back to the ideas you've collected and turn them into stories?

Some of my ideas have become stories. One of them became one of my most popular books!

I go to the insights I catch during my podcast exploration. My deep dives lately are Paul Graham Essays, Benjamin Hardy and old ancient wisdom books. ❤️

Oooh podcasts are a fab resource for inspiration! Do you make notes while listening or jot down ideas after you've listened?

I enjoy looking at theprose.com for inspiration. They have different prompts and writing challenges.
