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?
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. ❤️

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