#WriteStuff Q6: After you brainstorm, pull out any ideas that may not be related to the original object – and keep them! These can be the ideas upon which to build other stories. Have you ever written an idea that was nothing like what you started to write?

#WriteStuff Q5: From these questions, take an hour and just jot down all thoughts in a stream of consciousness (the tip!). Have you ever used a technique of just putting everything on paper, whether paragraphs, bulleted ideas, or just random ideas?

Just finished "The Poppy War" by RF Kuang, which brings me close to having read all her works (two more volumes of this series to go, and I'm done). This is a fantasy reworking of 20th century Chinese history, including the Rape of Nanking.
