Story concepts? give me something to write about...?

Question

i want to try some different styles. most of my stuff is darker and rather morid.

give me some basic concepts to write on. or something complicated and deep, but not overly so in a way that says, 'yeah, i'm deep'. lol.

Answer 1

Join a writing group that is designed for this very purpose

The site at the link below puts out a monthly challenge short story and poetry contest to get the ink flowing.

They have some published authors and newbies who put out great critiques of all the stories every month and network to find publishers for your work.

Do what your doing ask questions, interviewing girls on "Answers" by asking questions, ask them questions about what they want from guys, and you could ask guys the same, for a broader audiance, the concept could be what we want, you could have a guy working with you, to cover the guy side,like your boyfriend, compare notes.

Here's one of my favorite examples of what I find deep: http://www.capmag.com/articlePrint.asp?I...

He compares an encounter with his neighbor's cat to people with certain political leanings. So my advice is to try to describe things in a way that people don't expect, make a comparison that takes people off guard. Also, I like it when authors say stuff that everybody thinks but no one will admit.
