Story Mind Map Template:
My Story Title
Using this template
1⃣ start with working title in the centre
If you don't know this yet, use anything that helps you identify this mind map, like the date, your writing prompt, or something about the story you already know
For example, "March 1st Story" or "Story about the mysterious seal"
Also check out this guide for more ways mind mapping can be used in creative writing, including character development and world building
2⃣ Add branches with your ideas
Don't filter your thoughts
Ideas can be about anything
3⃣ As you develop your story, keep returning to the mind map whenever you want to
ideas can change over time
Creativity never ends! Any ideas which don't fit now might work for your next story
