This week my sparking source is

FICTION WRITER'S BRAINSTORMER by James W. Smith, Jr.

Chapter 10 deals with The Second Habit of Highly Effective Writers (hmm sounds familiar…and this in a book about creativity?)

Contents of a package

MONDAY play with ideas for scary books that children might read

TUESDAY play with ways to turn artwork into functional things

WEDNESDAY play with different audiences for products (products normally for young people…how might they be made to appeal to older people, vice versa)

THURSDAY how could you serialize one of your favorite movies

FRIDAY what might happen to a favorite television show, movie, book if it was serialized

Have a week that creates itself.
