Nature can be a rich source of inspiration for writing a child book. Here are 7 ways that you can tap into nature to uncover material for your children’s stories and unleash your creativity.

#1: Flora, F

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

auna and…

This is obvious, but you can use animals, or even plants, mountains, stones, rivers, etc. as characters in your story. They will probably be anthropomorphic, having the characteristics of human

Examples of combination products may in

out the animal kingdom (e.g. an ant colony). You might imagine what it would be like to become an ant and see the world from that perspective. Nature may also form the setting for your story. Just remembe

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

r to describe only what’s necessary to move your story forward and convey your message. Don’t get bogged down in lengthy descriptions.

#2: The Four Seasons

Not the musical group but the four seasons of

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

inter, spring, summer and fall. These could be an integral part of your story, not just the backdrop to it. The fable of the ant and the grasshopper is a good example of how the seasons can propel a story

#3: Cycles

The hero or heroine of the story overcomes obstacles and becomes stronger or more mature in the process.

#4: The Elements

Did you know that each element has a concept associated with it? Air = Thought,

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

Fire = Desire, Water = Emotions, Earth = Stability. In Chinese philosophy, the elements are also linked to parts of the body. This gives you three dimensions to play around with: elements, concepts and pa

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

ts of the body. The elements themselves could be anthropomorphic reflections of the different concepts and their interplay could be a metaphor for human being’s difficulties in finding balance between tho

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Following aspects would a

ught and emotion, desire and stability, etc.

#5: Astronomy

The universe or astronomy (sun, moon, planets, stars, etc.) is another possible source of inspiration. The planets can be anthropomorphic chara

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

ters or can be manipulated by the characters. Characters that manipulate the planets represent a theme often found in mythology and even modern-day stories such as “Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me”

#6:

cts are meaningful and rational?
Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

ature’s Patterns

As we all know, nature is very complex, yet elegantly simple at the same time. Natural dynamics such as evolution and propagation could be an interesting element in your stories. You cou

tions increase the patient compliance?
What would be the developing cost?
How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen

ld, for example, explore how a creature has evolved over time (this could be a good sci-fi story).

On another level, there are also little truisms in nature. Remember when the giant sea monster threateni

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

#7: Study and Absorb Na

If you want to really be inspired, try just sitting somewhere in nature and observing it in all its splendor. You may discover interesting (anthropomorphic) behaviors or larger patterns. You will als

Conclusion

These are just a few ways you can get inspired by nature to make up child stories. I'm sure you'll think of more. I t

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

ink nature is particularly interesting as a source of inspiration because it is awesome and powerful, neutral (with “pure nature” there is no good or bad per se), beautiful and perfect. It’s pretty hard t

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

improve upon nature.
