I’ve already had that experience. If I write a novel without taking notes beforehand, my writing doesn’t feel that tight. Sometimes I even lose interest as a writer when I freely write a story. Readers will surely lose interest even quicker with such a book.
I’ll focus on learning basic outlining techniques and adding them to my author system. Should be an interesting topic to explore with Grok.

Grok didn’t answer directly, so I used the app to get an answer. Seems like Grok is generally overloaded currently as there are timeouts throughout the entire day.
Anyway, Outlining it is.
I’ll work on a summary article about idea generation in the background, where I add my own process and ideas on top. Should be finished in the next couple of days.

Synopsis:
While working on his latest photographs, Markus discovers a shadow that shouldn’t be there. It appears again and again. In every photo. In his memories. And eventually even before his eyes — even when he tries to turn his gaze away from the truth.
A thriller short story by Michael Brig of about 5,500 words.
The promo ends on Friday this week. Please leave me a review if you enjoyed the story, thanks.

Idea generation as a topic is nearing its end – at least for the basics. Next week I’ll focus on Outlining, and I’ll releas a comprehensive guide on generating book ideas.
