✍🏼 Your Challenge, Should You Choose to Accept it ...
Choose one word that is particularly important in your story. For instance, your word might be hope, shadow, flicker, imagine, magic, or any other significant word.
Spend some time doing an investigation of that word, and document what you find.
- What is the history of the word?
- What quotes can you find that feature the word in interesting ways?
- What are the word's synonyms or antonyms?
- Have songs or artworks been created that feature or explore this word?
- What other interesting information can you find about this word?
And most importantly, does anything you've found give you an idea for your story?
