Science Fiction. Literature. Short Stories. History. Non-Fiction, etc. The list goes on and on.
When I don’t know what to write about, I look at what story ideas appeal to me. Which ones I haven’t written about before. Which ones I’m dealing with personally, or that I’ve thought about deeply. Even though there are a few, I know I can only work on one.
I might write them down, or just think about a handful at a time. I ponder about which one I can put the most creativity and time into. And when I filter out the ones that are great on the surface, but not in substance, and narrow it down to the one that keeps resurfacing in my mind, I will know which one I need to write.
