Answer 1

Hello Kitty,

I like to go through a stack of books, and take something different from each. I leave the PC, get some coffee and maybe a dozen books and then look at each one.

I think, here's a person male, middle aged, and then put that book down. Then I pick up one and here's a person in Hong Kong buying clothes, and then I put that down and pickup another one, and here's a cruise ship, and another has a forest fire in Cemtral France, and another is a kid at Junior High School, etc.

Now I have lot's of ideas not connected, and I can drink my tea and think of many things,and soon, I am writing sentences again.

Mostly, I don't use the specific things I found, but rather, they just get me in the mood, start me thinking the way i usually do when I write, and help brush away the cobwebs.

Hope this helps. And, don't change your successful habits, just incorporate some new ways of looking at things.

Also, when you submit for publication, get the grammar checker working. For example, you have been writing for a long time, and you have binders full of stuff you have written.

Good Luck.

Writer's block eh? Well, you can't get inspiration from other people's minds - you have to use your own! Try going on a trip, or for a very long walk around the countryside, or just sitting on a bench in the park. A quiet place where you can think is a good place. If you're going on holiday/vacation soon, then that would be a great place to attain inspiration.
5 to 10 page stories every two days sound quite good, but perhaps you should strive for bigger projects. Try writing stories over the course of the week - you might find yourself making drafts and then fixing pieces up later on in the week. Don't feel forced to create a story every week, (or if you would prefer to stick with your shorter stories then every 1 or 2 days,) because you might lose your interest in writing after a while. Make sure it's fun and enjoyable and you're sure to make progress! =)

Keep up your writing.

Hi,

I'd like to help you with what to write about, but in my opinion I think that sooner or later you'll find something yourself. What are you interested in? I'm telling you this because I usually write things I am really passionate about. Do you have anything you particularly like writing about? If you don't, then I suggest you keep a diary first, to make notes of things that happen in your life. Something in your life is bound to make you want to write a story about a similar topic, it's worked for me when I had writer's block, there's no reason why it shouldn't work for you.

I love writing too, and I've been writing since I was very young as well, I think I wrote my first story when I was six. And when I finish any stories I write it's always such an amazing feeling, because I feel that I've really accomplished something. I think it's because I usually write long stories, and I feel I've worked hard on them. Do you ever get that?

The amount of things you've written sounds very impressive! I hope I've helped you with your story ideas a bit, and good luck with your writing, I'm sure you'll think of something soon. Just use your imagination, and once an idea comes into your head, open a blank document and start writing. Don't worry about brainstorming or planning, I think it's best to write whatever comes in to your mind in my opinion. Good luck again!

Answer 4

Well, whenever I don't know what to write about, I tend to daydream until I can find something worth writing about.
Two other things which I would recommend, though, are

1.) Turn a diary/journal into a book.

2.) Get an inspiration from another author. I recommend Anton Chekhov. Even though a lot of his stories are sad, some aren't, and all of them are very good and great for giving ideas.

Answer 5

Maybe you can find something to write about if you ask yourself a question. For example, What would happen if ... Or, if this person did this....what chain reaction would it cause, etc.

Perhaps a serious issue like child abuse or living with a disease.

For me, I like to write about heartbreak. Star crossed lovers with a cruel intention. Something that would make the reader kiss their teeth!

I know it's hard, but your smart.

Try to go people watching, sitting in a cafe, near the window....maybe a face will stir your interest.

Answer 6

Writers block is common. When I wonder what to write about I try to expose myself to something I don't do everyday. Like taking a new route home. When I get home I sort through my memory and focus in on one thing and give it a back story.

Answer 7

I write too. You want the secret to overcoming writers block? Grab the phone book, a notebook and a pen. Start copying the phone book and keep copying until an idea comes to you. You'd be amazed how quickly it works.

Answer 8

I always think that it's fun to write about someone famous in history a long time ago coming to our time, being clueless and stuff, and having to have things from our time explained to them.

Answer 9

Barnes n' Noble has a few books that start your subject and you finish the short stories or poems. Pretty cool! They cost about $8.

Answer 10

I'm 13 too and I think you should write about someone famous getting kidnapped or sumthin
