The purpose of the Creative thinking technique. On this document, I will be listing the variety of publishing that I could do for my FMP. Then I can list the ones I could do and write down what next to it what I could do. Example Magazine - I could write a paranormal magazine about bath, buildings, history and ghost tour, ECT.

This will also show that I have thought about other individual projects I could do and explain why I chose the one I will be doing for my FMP. I will also write down what and how I will accomplish the goal for my FMP and also explain what issues I will have and how I will overcome it.

My Inspiration for my FMP project is, author Paige Mckenzie, the genre Paranormal, and style is drawn images. (Photoshop design drawing)

1. Multiple short story book's. Because for my Project I've decided that in the time I have I didn't have enough to write one whole novel so instead I choose to go with writing a short story book with multiple plus I also like the idea of writing more than one story with a mixed variety or horror stories.

2. Genre/theme, Paranormal and car journey. Why it's my inspiration because it a genre I am confident in writing about, it a genre where you can come up with loads of creative stories which I have a lot of ideas for different stories for my FMP. The main theme for the stories is car journey because from looking up different books I've not seen any stories relating to car journeys and I thought it would make a cool and fun themed for the multiple short stories.

3. Drawn images. (Photoshop design drawing). I've noticed how most book covers are drawn then taken and I wanted to give drawing ago because they always look good and also it will also be different from the last previous book covers I've which have all been photos.

Examples
  

Developments I need is photoshop skills. I know what I want my cover to look like, I need to look up tutorials that relate's to what I want. The main one would be youtube, watching some videos to decide which would be easier to copy from and also do a bit of experimenting. Because I want my cover to be drawn I’m going to need help and tips to get it looking good and professional, So my plan is to each lesson I will try and draw one of the images needed for my book cover then decide whether to use it or. Another development will be needed to maybe update my Grammarly account to get more help with grammar and others. Reason why is because I use Grammarly a lot for spelling and grammar, but I am still being told that my grammar needs improving and since I want to self-publish my book it needs fewer mistakes and to make sure I make fewer mistakes I will need to update it in order to get more help with other writing issues.
Lastly, I will also need to improve my people skills, because for one part of the project I will need to ask some question for my research project. Even though I have an answer to my question, I still like to hear from a person profession on what my options are.

Issues at this point I have is, having my stories re-looked at. I want to have my stories to be looked at by a proofreader, and so far in Bath, I have not been able to find one. I was hoping to have someone in Bath to look at it because I thought it would be better but I think I might either search online or have others I know to look over it for me, including myself. Also to look up on how to be your self-proof reader to help me out more.

With wanting to draw the cover I know I have given myself a big challenge because it's not one of my strong points, but I will also create my cover using a website I have found and took photos. My worry is taking pictures to use for my cover then being sued because the area I took the picture is some own property, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to draw the cover so that I don’t have to worry about that. I’m hoping because it’s an image of a road it won’t count as that but it’s something I will need to look up to make sure that's not the case.

Conclusion

My book cover will be my biggest challenge so that it will need more attention to it. I need to do research on rights to images and properties, more videos on drawings using photoshop.

My stories at this point are going well, (writing wises) But I will need to look up someone to edit my work or for myself to learn to self-proofread my own stories, But I will get others like the family member to read it through at least.

The research I think won’t be a big problem for me but I need to add more images to, my blogs.
