The Writer’s Idea Thesaurus: An Interactive Guide for Developing Ideas for Novels and Short Stories

Fred White

Just as Roget’s Thesaurus provides writers with a treasury of synonyms based on master words, so does The Fiction Writer’s Idea Thesaurus provide writers with a treasury of story ideas based on idea categories. Writers consult any of 20 subject categories, arranged alphabetically, each containing ten idea categories, and peruse ten situations associated with each idea category. These situations serve as the springboard?and potential framework?for novels and short stories regardless of subgenre (commercial or literary). The resulting thesaurus will contain 2,000 story situations that are specific enough to supply fiction writers with enough material indefinitely, to break through writer’s block, and to stimulate creative thinking about story content. | Need an idea for a short story or novel? Look no further than The Writer’s Idea Thesaurus. It’s far more than a collection of simple writing prompts. You’ll find a vast treasury of story ideas inside, organised by subject, theme, and situation categories, and listed alphabetically for easy reference. | Endless ideas at your fingertips, and at the turn of a page ?
