Here's a tool I've used in the past to help generate story ideas. I fill a sheet of paper with whatever thoughts arise, using different colored pencils, starting at various spots on the page and not censoring anything. This prompts my subconscious to cough up helpful story facets. There is, however, a tendency to fill the page with "redrum," but therapy and an ankle bracelet help keep that in check.A repost from April 26, 2009. Haven't used this in awhile. I'm keen to give it another try.

But are you focusing on a story you are trying to tell, John, or just random thoughts?
Focusing on a story, freeing up the subconscious.
Sadly, I have enough random thoughts requiring no prompting.
