Asking for Help

By LaRae Pynas · English

You’ll usually get better brainstorming help if you give everyone a little context. Try: Genre: What I’m writing: What has happened so far: What I know needs to happen: Where I’m stuck: What I’ve already considered: What I definitely do NOT want to change: That last one matters. If the murder must happen at the lighthouse, tell us. If two characters absolutely cannot end up together, tell us. If your dragon is staying whether anyone likes him or not, the dragon stays. Boundaries help people brainstorm with your story instead of rewriting it as their own.
