How do i get a good idea to write a book?

Question

I have been waiting and waiting for a good idea to come to me for a book but so far, no luck. Do i have to keep waiting for an idea to come to me for it to be good or could it be possible to write a good book from my every day experiences?

Answer 1

I'd suggest that you read a lot. Perhaps you will get an idea from that source. Another possibility would be to brainstorm for ideas. Sit down and let your mind wander. Then start trying to think of ideas or even images. Don't edit. Just write them all down. Later, take a look at the list and perhaps you can combine a couple of the ideas or images, and start writing about them. Oh yes, write everyday, even if you have nothing to write about. You have to get into the habit of writing.

Answer 2

This is funny because i'm planning on writing a baook also. Ummmmmm your everyday experiences could go into play with a charaacter in your book. But you dont have to wait. Brainstorm on like some killer topics. What kind of book would you read, like, refer to your friends. Write me anytime!
