STORY STARTERS VS STORY IDEAS

There are a should know

ton of because

what's the difference

Story Starter books out there - I I think I’ve purchased them all.

And not a single one of them helped me to actually come up with a Story Ideas.

Why not? Because they’re DIFFERENT! STORY STARTERS ARE SITUATIONS LIKE…

• Aliens have invaded Earth - they look just like us but they only have one gender: Men. • Major Insurance Companies are giving super discounted health insurance rates for women willing to take a chastity test • Marriage to humanoid androids has been legalized in the US • The British Prime Minister falls in love with a spy sent to kill him

STORY IDEAS ANSWER the question...

WHAT’S YOUR STORY ABOUT? And include a description of the story’s • Hero • Heroine • The hero or heroine’s goal

• What’s preventing him/her from achieving it And yes, these are the same criteria from Lesson #1 from the Plot your 1st Romance Book Course Story Ideas double as an IMDB description of a movie or a TV listing from a Hallmark Movie - they tell you the who and the what, not just an ambiguous but intriguing situation which is what I’ve found in pretty much all Story Starter Books
