Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Here is one technique for finding ideas. It is based on four archaic tools: a flat surface, a book, a pencil, and a piece of paper.

Looking for ideas? Here is a technique.

1. sit a flat surface (desk, dining room table, McDonald’s, bar (yes a bar))
2. put a blank sheet of paper and pencil on the flat surface
3. read a good book
4. as ideas hit you, and they will, jot them on the blank piece of paper

You can do step three with either fiction or non-fiction. It depends on the type of ideas you seek.

You are welcome. This technique is copyright free.
