Welcome to the Story Idea Book #1
- by Romance Subgenre
If you didn’t know - I suffer from having too many story
ideas vs not having enough. Everywhere I look a new
potential story pops up.

I’ve been jotting all these ideas down for a little over 5
years now. And now I want to share them with you.

• No 1 story idea will ever result in the same novel if

given to a million authors - we all think and write
differently so don’t worry that someone else will
write the same exact book. It’s impossible.
• Pick and choose different ideas and combine
them together
• All of these ideas are now yours to do what you
want

This Story Idea Idea Book

will help you to

• Get your creative juices flowing

• Allow you to simply agree or veto over 100 ideas
• Combine story ideas into something new just for
you
• Quickly develop a new story idea you can start
working on today
•
Are you ready?

STORY STARTERS VS STORY IDEAS what's the difference
There are a ton of Story Starter books out there - I
should know because I think I’ve purchased them all.
And not a single one of them helped me to actually come up with a Story Ideas.

Why not? Because they’re DIFFERENT!

STORY STARTERS ARE SITUATIONS LIKE…

• Aliens have invaded Earth - they look just like us but they only have one
gender: Men.
• Major Insurance Companies are giving super discounted health insurance
rates for women willing to take a chastity test
• Marriage to humanoid androids has been legalized in the US
• The British Prime Minister falls in love with a spy sent to kill him

STORY IDEAS ANSWER the question...

WHAT’S YOUR STORY ABOUT?
And include a description of the story’s
• Hero
• Heroine
• The hero or heroine’s goal
• What’s preventing him/her from achieving it

And yes, these are the same criteria from Lesson #1 from the Plot your 1st
Romance Book Course

Story Ideas double as an IMDB description of a movie or a TV listing from a

Hallmark Movie - they tell you the who and the what, not just an ambiguous but
intriguing situation which is what I’ve found in pretty much all Story Starter Books

Ready? Let’s Go!
