In the second Roads To Writing, we explore the important business of getting ideas for our stories. As David McRobbie, points out you need an idea to start your story and a whole succession of them to keep it going. The first part talks about the beginning of ideas and where they come from. The second part is a workshop on how to find ideas and what to do with them.
The third part deals with the business of planning your stories. How far should you go and is a plan necessarily a good thing?
The final part is in the form of a workshop where David shows how he got ideas for two of his successful stories and what he did to develop the them. There is also a story outline that has not been written and exists only as a few ideas. This gives you the opportunity to join in on this creative process and decide what you'd do.
