15 Nov 2009, 10:57 PM  |  So, I've got my idea...but where to go now?? You can hide this advertisement by registering. So, I've got my idea, and I've got my medium.If anyone has an idea how to make a series of people with all different stories (yet share the fact that they are dependent to something/someone), somehow all connected...please feel free to express and share! I really am enthusiastic about my major work...but not having this one vital connection kinda leaves me at a roadblock with no detour sign! Any help is much appreciated.

Then maybe pick one and use it as your first or final line in each story. OR You could add a motif. Pick an object or emotion etc. and incorporate it into each story. But that's assuming you're doing a series of short stories and linking them. If you're doing one story, I'm not sure.

Today, 2:04 PM | Re: So, I've got my idea...but where to go now?? Start with a brainstorm? Addicted to emotional gratification, alcohol, physical contact (cliches all but a starting point)? Branch out from there -> consider both the positive and negative forms of addiction - chains of addiction etc.? Maybe start writing scraps...write a sentence or two describing each person/their addiction, then elaborate?
