Any good story ideas? [i don't do science fiction] but...?

Question

i'm a writer. i can't get enough of writing. but now all of the sudden no ideas are ever coming to me. and if they do, i can't figure out how to end it and i end up just throwing the whole story away. please help me get started on a story. i'm desperate to write again.

Answer 1

whats something you've never written about before?  stop being focused on the fact that nothings coming to you because that might be what's holding up all of your ideas.  when you've got a story and you can't figure out how it ends, listen to your characters.  use their personalities to figure out how they would leave things because it may be your story but without the characters you'd only have empty dialogue.

Answer 2

Hi again. A lot of people ask for ideas and most of them don't get the answers they're looking for. Yes, it is strange to give someone your own creative ideas, but if you want help and want to write, then why shouldn't someone help you right? Some good ideas off the top of my head are:

#1- A girl was sent to boarding school but in the midst of all the new things going on in her life (new friends, new room, new school, etc.) she starts to have nightmares. Nightmares about various things that don't add up until she starts to see them happening. She tries to warn people about the school but they just think she's crazy. Can she convince them that the school is in fact evil? Or will her attempts perish when her worst nightmares come true?

Hmm..sorry. I could only think of that one. If you want more, e-mail me and I can think up some other ones for you! Hope I helped!
