I love writing, and the most common issue I have is finding the perfect story to tell.  Sometimes a cohesive plot won’t seem to form in my mind, others times, characters seem to lack inspiration and are difficult to relate to.  Jasmine’s lecture was incredibly insightful in the way she made it seem so easy and effortless to find ways to come up with simple brainstorms and ideas to kick-start an intriguing story.  Perhaps the most exciting of these was to come up with a problem and “write your way out of it”.  While, in my opinion, this method might not always leave you with the most believable or cohesive storylines, it’s definitely a method that won’t leave a page empty for long.
