The answer to this question: How do you find the right idea for your book?
You probably won’t be surprised to learn I have Opinions about this type of question, and the answers that people rush to give.

If you’re struggling with too many ideas (or not enough) I hope it helps you too.
Writing Prompt
There is no right idea. Or wrong idea. Just ideas you can try. GO.
Set a timer for 5 minutes and make a big old list, or mind map, or spider diagram, or word spiral, or interpretative dance, or doodle, of all the possible ideas you could ever turn into a book.
See what each one leads to.
And have fun with it!
TTFN,
Vicky
