The map to Everywhere!
I'm one of those writers who struggle with ideas and for the longest time, I thought it was just me. Ask any writer where they get their ideas, and you're guaranteed to get the 'ideas are everywhere' standard response. That's not helpful at all!With this book, Neeve actually gives you a road map on how to reach that mythical place called Everywhere. What I really liked about this book is how actionable it is. It gives you tools and techniques on how to come up with ideas and--perhaps even more important--hiw to develop them into a story. Neeve uses lots of examples to illustrate what's she's saying (and I really want to read that witch-story, but perhaps it's written under a different pen name?)This is one of the best--if not THE best--craft books on idea development. Definitely will reserve a prime spot for this on my keeper shelf!

Inspirational as always!
I've been writing for over 20 years, but I still find something new and useful in every Stone Tablet book. This one is getting me excited to work on story development for my 3rd novel, and also has great and specific techniques for idea generation (with the best circumstances for using each one). I used the 50 Things exercise to generate ideas for my plot threads, and my ur-plot got so much richer as a result. I honestly get value from reading the Stone Tablets even if I don't immediately need the topic or don't feel weak in it-- they just make me want to write more! Check out the whole line for fantastic, no-bs teaching in every area of writing and self-publishing. I'm a fan for life!

Great book to get inspired to create
Endless ideas was just what I needed to help me get started writing my book that’s been on my mind for over 3 years now. My biggest fear has been I won’t start it off the right way. So I just keep putting it off until the right idea comes along. But now after reading Endless Ideas I know there will never be a perfect beginning and to just start somewhere and and not make it boring. I could go on and on how this book can help you but trust me you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation you’ve giving me to just start writing.God bless

Great Idea!
I really liked this book. For me, the author was very honest about her struggles finding ideas to write, but she showed how trusting a few processes helped her overcome her lack of ideas. This transitioned her to having to choose which idea she liked best, which is a better problem to have.I feel she could have included more examples, like providing an actual "50 things list" and which items she chose. Maybe a few more "5 ideas per day" lists, and some more "freewriting" examples. But I did get the "idea" and I'll come back to this little book for inspiration as needed.

Some Nice Tips
Technically I'm an advanced reader, but some recent events in my life made me completely forget about it until it was time to review it.I think it would be easy for some people to come across this and think they might not need it. I myself consume lots of media and don't have a problem with something up with ideas. That being said, sometimes I find myself struggling to like an idea or make it fit with other ideas. I think there is some solid advice about brainstorming in here, and I would recommend it.

So This is How You Consistently Crank Out Ideas
As someone who has to think creatively for a living, this novel nails what it's like to consistently crank out ideas and never let writer's block get the best of you. The analogy of thinking of your brain as a machine is genius! It's a great read for people who struggle with getting the right idea (hint, there's is no such thing!) and how to consistently be creative in both writing and marketing your work.

The most practical of the Stone Tablet Singles thus far
I have all 6 of the Stone Tablet Singles, and I return to this one way more than all the others combined. I come back to it over and over again. It offers very practical and actionable advice on how to come up with ideas.It is equal parts education (what), explanation (how-to), and inspiration (why). It will give you ideas and options, but it also encourages you to develop your own idea generation and management process.Multiple times per week I find myself going back to the techniques illustrated and explained in this book.

So much packed into this book
I found this book immensely helpful. From ways to fill your brain with raw material from which ideas can form, to ways of organizing your ideas and structuring your stories, the book is packed with useful insights. I found the exercises for idea generation to be extremely useful. I can’t wait to stop telling myself I don’t have any ideas, and start coming up with fresh concepts to write about.

A how-to guide to turning your life into story ideas
I really enjoyed this stone tablet series book on how to come up with ideas for writing.Well, "for writing". The techniques covered in the book can be applied to any sort of idea generation you may need in your life.It's an engaging read and offers both the theory behind idea generation and some techniques for implementing what you've just learned.My advanced review copy has copious highlights and notes on it that I will be reviewing and implementing in my processes, not just for writing. I enjoyed the book so I purchased a copy for myself as well.

10x Creativity
I loved this book. I highlighted heaps, and it has helped me draft a much more creative outline for my next book. So important to get past the first ideas that come to mind. Made me feel excited to be a writer!

Some helpful ideas in this book
I bought this as an e-book. It isn't very elegantly written and I managed to summarise the ideas in 5000 words but I think those 5000 words will be useful to me and anyone else who's having trouble getting into writing a new novel.
