Continue reading →: Trilogy: Founder, Partner, MatriarchI started imagining my female startup founder story as a movie because it is the girl boss story Hollywood wants to produce but can’t pull off. This led to the question of whether I should add a romantic subplot because that expands the market for the story. Deciding there wasn’t…

Continue reading →: Trash Can PunchSo one fun thing that I am trying to play with while editing my drafts is including fictional products. It started with a running joke about male characters wearing purple boxer shorts with yellow dragon designs so if he were ever in a car accident the nurses would laugh at…

Continue reading →: Alcoholic SmoothiesChallenge accepted! Create a plausible story about a female entrepreneur. This started as a thought experiment in converting industrial grain alcohol into a new consumer product that would create a new profitable market niche. Again, another winning the lottery fantasy thought experiment. Okay. So, is this a fictional story? A…

Continue reading →: The Accidental EntrepreneurI have a new story idea that is a business-oriented story. It started as a personal lottery fantasy about being worthy of the money from an unearned windfall rooted in turning a housing expense into an investment not built on asset bubbles.

Continue reading →: The Lifelong LearnersMust stop turning most conversations with Copilot into a new story idea. I was stress testing a humorous idea of retirees supplementing their income by going to graduate school and taking out student loans (paying for housing & food) that they wouldn’t live to have to repay. I do enjoy…

Continue reading →: New Lilith & Silas Story IdeasFormatting “Lotta,” which is a draft Chad blind date story. It is 38 pages so I should probably break it up into 2 parts.
