Where Do Author Ideas Come From?
Here are a few of the activities that book shepherd Judith Briles identified recently as tools for coming up with great ideas for books, blog posts, podcast episodes, webinars, and more:
Goofing off.
Doodling.
Watching a movie or TV show.
Listening to a podcast or a radio show.
Reading an article.
Showering or hot tubbing.
Daydreaming.
Hiking or taking a walk.
Getting dressed or undressed.
Having lunch with a friend.
Shopping.
Reading. Reading books. Reading magazines. Reading blog posts. Reading people.
The list is endless ... what isn’t endless is you. Ideas are like tides that ebb and flow—moving in your direction and flowing away. What you do with ideas when they arrive is what makes you an author.
So, are you jucilating? Creating new ideas? Catching the eyes and ears of your potential audience?
