  1. Try looking into the mythology of different cultures, some of it is very inspirational and I had gotten some good ideas from the past by looking up mythology.  Or you could do the characters based on people you know and apply their traits to the story/plot

    You could do a tragic hero story, a forbidden love, or an epic/life changing journey.


  2. Write a story about a teenage girl who spends a lot of time posting questions to internet forums and after she asks what she should do in some sort of hypothetical situation (involving a boy?) ends up getting some really bad advice about what she should do with her life, but she thinks it's a great idea, and this leads her to get into trouble with her parents and school somehow, you can decide what kind of trouble it is but it leads to all sorts of adventures, possibly chase scenes, maybe romance, or not, until it all has a happy ending...  or not.  Think movie rights.  Just an idea.  Good luck!

  3. first writing tip: come up with your own ideas for stories. It makes writing it so much easier because it comes from you. You can start with something simple like a name or an event or a characteristic for your story and eventually it will all start flowing out and developing into a story. Hope this helps.  

  4. Well, ray Bradbury says he just lists a series of nouns, and once he's done brainstorming, he picks one out of the list and sees where it takes him. Ex: The Ravine, the Skeleton, the Carnival. All of these eventually became titles and inspiration for some of his most famous stories.

    David Morrell (man who created Rambo) has a written conversation w/ himself. that's how he eliminates writer's block.

    He also writes that the only thing u need for a story is conflict. His formula is "plot= conflict + motivation". that's all there is to it. Someone has a desire--doesn't matter how trivial--and someone or something else tries to stop them from achieving it.

    It's just that simple. a man wanting to paint a house can be as compelling as a woman wanting to be the first astronaut to land on Mars so long as you dramatize how important the goal is to that person.

    most other good stories start w/ a secret that someone is trying to not reveal. think up a secret that someone told you, fictionalize it, then write about it. change any telling characteristics, of course. or just come up w/ something that if it happened to you, you would want to keep secret


  5. Why not try to write a story about a stuffed animal that comes to life? Sorry...it's the first thing that popped into my head...

  6. I think you should write a book about a nurse who kills a patient!

    Can be an accident, but accidentally on purpose might be more fun.

    If you write it, let me know..I have a patient whom i would like to leave it on the night stand for!
