Frequently Asked Questions

How do you brainstorm ideas?

Brainstorming is when you deliberately try to think up new ideas or solutions to problems. In writing—whether creative, academic, or business—it’s a beneficial preliminary stage that helps writers know precisely what’s going into their projects.

Here’s a quick six-step method you can follow to get the best results:

1. Prepare
First and foremost, you need to set aside time for yourself or schedule a session with your group. Take brainstorming seriously by making it an appointment, and allot enough time that you’re not distracted by other plans.

2. Capture the main focal points
When it’s time for your actual brainstorming session, first write down your main focal points. This acts as a visual anchor to focus your thoughts and snap you back if you get distracted.

3. Write down all your initial ideas
In other words, write down the easy ideas: all the ideas you’ve had coming into the brainstorming session.

4. Look for patterns
Once you have a sizable list of basic starter ideas, it’s time for analysis. Look for patterns in the ideas you like most, as well as the ones you like least.

5. List the ”holes” or unaddressed objectives
What’s missing? What ideas do you still need? When your brainstorming session comes to a lull, it’s a good time to take stock of what you have—and don’t have. Once the ”easier“ ideas are out of the way, you can refocus on the more problematic ones.

6. Generate new ideas for the missing parts
Finally, it’s time to fill in all the gaps you discovered in the previous step. This is often the hardest part of brainstorming writing, but also part of why it’s so useful.

What are the three rules of brainstorming?

1. No criticism allowed

During the brainstorming process, all ideas should be accepted without any negative feedback or judgment. This encourages individuals to freely express their ideas without fear of criticism.

2. Focus on quantity

By focusing on quantity, this emphasizes the importance of generating as many ideas as possible, regardless of their quality. This helps to stimulate creativity and encourages individuals to think outside the box and get their thoughts out, no matter how many arise during the brainstorming process. You can always go back and narrow down and eliminate options at a later point.

3. Welcome unconventional ideas
Welcoming unconventional ideas encourages everyone to think outside of traditional norms and to consider new and innovative ideas. This rule helps to push the boundaries of what is considered possible and can lead to breakthrough ideas.

What kinds of ideas can I generate with an AI idea generator?

An AI idea generator can be used for a number of purposes. It can serve as a book idea generator if you want to begin writing a book for pleasure or academic purposes. It can serve as a product idea generator for your work or business and even a random idea generator if you’re seeking inspiration for a writing prompt or topic.
