Today is National Plant Something Day. That’s a new holiday for me, but what are you going to do? Celebrate, that’s what to do! I realize the meaning behind the name – let’s take a day to plant a tree or a bush or flowers or corn. All fantastic ideas and ones my husband and I have already done for this year.
So instead of planting plants, I decided to celebrate this day by planting ideas for my story garden. Now, I already do this by jotting down scene ideas, saving images to my Pinterest boards, creating mood boards, song playlists, etc. But today, I want to spend time creating lines of dialogue, anecdotes, brainstorm symbols and motifs, jot down quirks of personality, fears and dreams, and hopes and goals for the characters in my next book.
Make a list of what you love to see in a story so you can write the book you want to read. Let those lists and images percolate in your mind so you can plant a story garden and let it be transformed into magic on the page.
Do you make lists for your writing? Do tell!
