Roads To Writing 2. Finding Story Ideas

In the second Roads To Writing, we explore the important business of getting ideas for our stories. As David McRobbie, points out you need an idea to start your story and a whole succession of them to keep it going. The first part talks about the beginning of ideas and where they come from. The second part is a workshop on how to find ideas and what to do with them.
The third part deals with the business of planning your stories. How far should you go and is a plan necessarily a good thing?
The final part is in the form of a workshop where David shows how he got ideas for two of his successful stories and what he did to develop the them. There is also a story outline that has not been written and exists only as a few ideas. This gives you the opportunity to join in on this creative process and decide what you’d do.
