Like everyone, I am inundated with ideas for stories all the time. Most are mediocre.
I type out the story concepts that I think have some promise, title that file with the name of the idea, and save it with the intention of seeing if I can build something better from it one day.
The other day I was looking through those files, some of which I saved years ago, and I realized I doubt there is even one that will ever become a great idea.
Usually for me, when I have a great idea, it starts off as one. It doesn’t start off as a mediocre idea that I somehow managed to make great.
What has your experience been?
Now I do note that there are some average type ideas that can still make a good story. I write romance, and not every idea has to be some high concept, brilliant one.
Do your mediocre ideas ever become great ones?
