This entire post is me. I have a spreadsheet of over 300 story ideas. And a list of 20 partially completed stories. In about 10 different genres!

Oh wow, Angie—this one spoke to my brain and my bookmark folder. As someone with Ideation in my top Clifton strengths, I definitely relate to that plot bunny chaos (and that “Book in a Day” attempt? Been there). I used to chase every new idea too—now I give each one a mini incubation session where I shape the hook, premise, and core character.

Sometimes that seed blooms right away, sometimes it waits a year. Either way, it’s planted.

Thank you for naming the creativity + chaos combo as a superpower, not a flaw. That reframing is everything. 💥🦸🏾‍♀️

Looking forward to next week’s strategies!
