I’m in the midst of brainstorming a book idea. I’m taking the basic synopsis that I sent to my editor and expanding it — diving in and figuring out who my main characters are and discovering more in-depth details of the book.
Today, I thought it would be fun to let you, readers who love inspirational contemporary romance novels, to have some fun brainstorming a novel too. How? Just answer the 7 questions in the “Come Plot With Me” poll I created. I can’t wait to see your answers!

Beth believes God’s best is often behind the doors marked “Never.” She’s a former nonfiction writer and editor who said she’d never write fiction. But then God turned a season of burnout into a bend in the writing road. Now she writes contemporary romance set in the Colorado Rockies, including: Wish You Were Here (2012), Catch a Falling Star (2013), and Somebody Like You (2014). Beth also serves as the Skills Coach for My Book Therapy. Check out Beth’s books at bethvogt.com.
fun idea! so much to consider…
Hi, Lis! I agree: lots to consider when you beginning brainstorming a book. Looking forward to seeing your (others’) answers. :)
Oh what FUN!!! Beth, you are one of the best brainstormers I know!!!
Pepper: We’ve had some fun brainstorming together, haven’t we? I love brainstorming with other writers — and it was fun to give readers a chance experience it! :O)
Lots of fun, Beth! At least you’ll have a pool of ideas for future books. :)
It is fun, Lisa. And yes, I peeked at the answers so far and I love them!!
Mine is the Max and Amy story…marine conservationist meets beach-loving attorney. A why/why not story…there are many fish in the sea, but she caught the one she wanted…now to make him realize his heart deserves rehabilitation too. :P
Lisa, I love this!!!! See, you’re brilliant!
Fun survey, Beth! It was hard to pick one location, though. I’d have to alter my answer to say part small city/part mountains. Fits with the cowboy theme. Gotta have cowboys… :)
How is your brainstorming coming along for your latest story?

So glad to hear you’re enjoying the brainstorming phase. Isn’t it so exciting to discover the who, what, when, where… and so many other details?
Great idea. I sent answers.
