The seminal power of what-if’s
Great ideas for new fiction can come from anywhere. Sometimes those ideas can come from idly considering “what-if’s.” In five minutes or less, come up with three what if’s. Don’t worry about where they have the potential for story development.
Here are my examples. No stopping, no overthinking.
· What if two of three triplets were identical—how would it feel like to be the non-identical one?
· What if your beloved grandmother turned out to have killed all her children but your mom?
· What if the slob who lived next door was God?
