One more #writingtrick I've had success with when looking for #plotlines and #ShortStory ideas, is to browse through old #newspaper stories & "weird true tales" #YouTube videos for ideas (especially helpful if you are #writing #Mystery, #Crime, #Suspense, #Horror, or #SpeculativeFiction).

There are a lot of FREE #NewspaperArchives on the web. Here's a great one, from the #LibraryOfCongress:

@SouthpawSteven
Start keeping a notepad with you at all times (paper or phone app). Jot down ANYthing that comes to mind, ANY idea-- a story plot, a char name, a description of a place, a weird turn of phrase-- ANYthing.

Later, go through that when you run out of #ideas.

For now, you can also browse through old #newspaper stories & "weird true tales" #YouTube videos for ideas.

On @InThoseDays we spoke to my cousin Felicity Law who has been involved in forest activism and the very successful greater glider court case in Victoria.

We looked back into the newspaper archives to see that threats to greater gliders from habitat loss was understood decades ago.

We no longer call them flying squirrels but VicForests is still cutting down their habitat.
