It's funny how, as a kid, I came up with all these fantastical ideas for stories, and now that I need to write a script I can't think of anything. Is my creativity gone for good? How can I get it back?

Start with you and family and friends life experiences. Base your beginning on fact, then expand your story by adding or changing fictional characters and events, but try and stay true to a central theme. A central theme could be a person or a family or maybe a particular place. Start by creating a short story with the things mentioned above, as you create the story, keep reading it and think of potential options to write about. Keep the story short and write more than one story with more than one
central theme. BE PATIENT, THINK, THINK, THINK. Go around your neighborhood, observe people, places, things, animals, watch what they do and how they do it. Observe, observe, observe. This might be a starting point for you. Good Luck.

I know exactly what you mean! I have not had an idea that I really liked in a long time, but then it hit me. I realized I had to get my idea's from things I can relate. (Sometimes you can even write about something that actually happend to you, just change settings and names!) Anyways I was watching a reality show (the one on MTV about following someone for 48 hours) and that is when it hit me. I suddenly grabbed a notebook and kept writing until I was too tired.
All I can say is make time to just write and do it. I cannot do the pre-writing thing. I just start writing and do it until it's done. Then I go through and figure out a surprise ending and switch a few things. That is what works for me, but I think every writer is different. Just remember, if you cannot see your piece as something real then the audience may not either.

i comprehend precisely what you mean! I actual have not had an thought that i in my opinion enjoyed in a protracted time, yet then it hit me. i found out I had to get my thought's from issues i will relate. (now and back you would be able to as nicely write approximately some thing that actual happend to you, in simple terms substitute settings and names!) in any case i became into watching a reality prepare (the only on MTV approximately following somebody for 40 8 hours) and that's whilst it hit me. I all of sudden grabbed a computer and saved writing till i became into too drained. All i will say is make time to in basic terms write and do it. i won't do the pre-writing element. I in simple terms start up writing and do it till this is completed. Then i circulate with the aid of and choose a marvel ending and turn some issues. that's what works for me, yet i think of each author is distinctive. in simple terms bear in mind, in case you could no longer see your piece as some thing actual then the objective audience won't the two.

I'm a writer myself, and I get ideas at the oddest times. While awake, I carry a pad and pen with me to jot down anything that comes to mind. At night I put the pad and pen on the night table. You'd be surprised how many really good ideas I get while asleep.

just think, think like you are a kid, the thing is, kids dont have standards for there creativity, but as you get older, when you think of the same ideas as you did as a kid, you think they are to wild, but thats how most writers make it big, they take that chance, that even if there idea is wild, they take the time to write, because they are brave
sooo yeaa

Look at everything around you and think of how you could turn it into a story. Just open your mind.

Find an odd premise, then script around how that odd premise would play.
