LET ’ S PLAY THE “ WHAT IF ?” GAME By : Barbara Donlon Bradley
Under my real name , I ’ m working on a new series . Again I played the “ what if ” game . I opened a new document in my computer and came up with a title of the series . Magic Man . What if I take Mother Nature and give her sons who have magic ? Those sons can live in both worlds because they came from human fathers . What if Mother Nature doesn ’ t like the fact that her sons live isolated lives , and she makes plans for them to find love ? Now I have a basic plot thread to use throughout the series .
So what should my first book be about ? Which son ? What does he do ? What if I make him a dreamwalker ? He can go into our dreams and help us steer our dreams to a point where we ’ re in control ? Okay , that sounds good . So what about my heroine ? Does he enter her dreams and want to meet her ? What if he meets her in person and then walks in her dreams once he realizes she needs his help ? From there my brain created a story that I was happy with .
The rough draft of that first book is done . Now I ’ m going through it and adding scenes as well as flushing out the scenes I ’ ve already written to make sure the story is strong and has my normal plot twists . The series has me excited and I already have an idea for book two .
The game works for me . When I come up with a new idea by playing that game it fills me with excitement and makes me want to write immediately . That is the whole goal for me and should be for you as well . Barb
