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.

Grok itself is already a very helpful tool. You can use the free version with limits. There is also ChatGPT which doesn’t have the same timeouts that Grok has with a free account.

But I’m curious about Sudowrite. If it can help me to get to my desired goal of writing a book a month, I’ll be happy to use it. It’s going to take me a while to learn to use it, but it’s on my to-do-list – just as Notion which was recommended by Grok this week as well.

I’ve checked Reedsy, Seventh Sanctum und Reddit – it’s nice to have, but nowadays, AI can give you very specific writing prompts within seconds. I think that this is now the most effective way to start creating story ideas.

Checking out Notion will cost me more time. So far I’ve used OneNote. But it seems like the basic Notion plan is free. If it offers everything that I need, this could be another reason to abandon Office365.

The tips on categorizing ideas is a good one to explore. I simply wrote everything thing down and have a giant bullet point list now which is hard to navigate.

Once I’ve got a better system setup, I’ll write a more conclusive post about creating an idea bank.
