Inspiration Overdose will keep you writing and writing until the sun explodes. Kill writer's block for good. There are over two thousand writing prompts here waiting to spark your next science fiction, fantasy, or horror story. Inspiration Overdose has weird and creative writing prompts for almost any type of short story you could want to write: Space travel and alien worlds Ghosts, vampires, and zombies The apocalypse and afterwards Political dystopias Monsters and mutants Psychic powers Super heroes and villains Time travel and alternate realities Androids, robots, and AI And so much more Inspiration Overdose is also jam packed full of tools and techniques to transform story ideas into something entirely new. Try the Idea Blender, the Story Shuffle, the Grid Game, the Scenic Route, or Blow It Up. Roll some dice and spice up your ideas with new characters, conflicts, and settings. Switching things up keeps the writing process interesting and your creative sparks flying. (Just remember to wear eye protection!) These tools and writing prompts can create over five septillion combinations. That's a five with twenty-four zeroes after it, or more story ideas than there are stars in the universe. You can use this book until the sun explodes and never use an idea twice. Most likely, there are more story ideas in this book than you will ever need. Maybe even too many. You might become such a prolific writer that your house ends up filled with your work, with mountains of books stacked everywhere, until someone slams a door and they topple over and you end up buried alive under a literary avalanche. So to be on the safe side, I wouldn't write more than a couple billion stories. Maybe three billion, if you use a small font.
