writethisfanficIt's another week of this month's challenge! How's it going today?
For discussion -- we've talked about how to come up w/ideas a lot, but I feel like it's always worth another discussion (because we're all lost without them...). I recently stumbled on this post featuring 15 ways to coax ideas out. Some of them people in this comm have mentioned using before, some of them were rather new to me. Did any of them surprise you? Is your tried-and-true method not mentioned? Is there anything that flat-out doesn't work for you off that list? Anything you're going to try?

Date: Sunday, December 18th, 2011 20:27 (UTC)One thing off that list I could do more is ask questions, whether of myself (doing a brainstorm in my 750 Words: why would this character do this? What would happen? etc.) or other people: simply making a point to have fic discussion chats w/more people in my fandoms more often. Sleeping on it (though I usually mean overnight, not a power nap like the blogger suggests, heh) helps me often!
