How it works:

Whether through words, images or both, this package is all about creating stories – and challenging the brain.

It requires brainstorming, imaginative problem-solving, as well as flexible, clever and critical thinking. And it will nudge you to take storytelling risks.

In this package, there are 115 themes or ideas that will inspire your stories. These are universal themes and ideas that are commonly found in books, in films and across the overall human experience – you’ll recognize them instantly.

You take these thematic seeds and let a story spring up and take shape around them. Some will be easier than others!

Sample pages:


Sample page of the grid, from our Create Stories PDF

Above: Each theme/idea is provided at the top of a storytelling grid. Whether you’re writing or drawing, the purpose of this grid is to help you clarify, deepen and connect your thoughts.

By filling out the grid, you will think about different aspects of your story, such as genre, setting and the central challenge your character will face.
