The month is winding down and you might be getting stuck with your story. It happens, don’t panic. Let’s give you a little device that will jump start your story. Ask yourself “What if?”
At certain times in its history, Marvel Comics has published a series with this very concept. They took important points in the continuity and asked “Well, what if something different happened?”
This title included such strange stories as “What if Wolverine were Lord of the Vampires?” and “What if the Avengers had never formed?”
You don’t want to go to such lengths with your story at this point, but you can still look at where things are going and say “What if?”
For example: “What if your love interest got hit by a car?” or “What if someone was kidnapped?” maybe “What if I added or removed a character?”
These aren’t set in stone. They are just designed to get you thinking about your story from a different perspective. Try thinking of some of these “What ifs?” and it might jump start your story.
Best of luck,
Billy
