Generate a strong idea (just one or two, not a list of 50) given these constraints.
Format: {{essay / video / podcast / short story / etc.}}
Length: {{rough — 800 words / 7 min / etc.}}
Audience: {{who's consuming this}}
Theme or seed: {{what you want it to be ABOUT, even loosely}}
Constraints: {{things I can't or won't do}}
Output:
1. **The idea** — described in 2-3 sentences. Not a list of bullet points, an actual conception.
2. **The angle** — what makes this idea worth doing vs. the obvious version everyone else is doing on this topic
3. **The one moment / scene / line** that's the heart of the piece — if I can land this, the whole thing works
4. **Risks** — where this idea could fall flat, and how to avoid it
5. **An alternative angle** — same constraints, different idea. So I can compare.
Don't generate 20 ideas. Generate fewer, deeper. Most idea generation is a procrastination strategy.ideaswritingcreative
