Ideas. Anyone. PLEASE!!!?

Question

Hey everyone. I am an aspiring author... well teen story writer on a very small scale. Lol. And I was wondering if absolutely anyone had any ideas on what I could write for a story because I'm all out of them. Any ideas would be great! Thanks everyone. *smiles and waves*

Answer 1

You're a teen story writer, so you want ideas of stories for teens?
There are many things you could write about. Here are some themes I wish i could have read about:
- Depression in teenagers and how it can lead to auto-mutilation and self-destruction.
- How teens view violence on TV and then, sometimes reproduce it in real life. This would be about the power of images.
- Observation of a class: geeks, nerds, goths, metalheads, rockers, barbie dolls, fashion victims, anorexics, foreign students, etc. I would describe the whole class, its students, and practically write a story about the relations between each of them.
- Or, observation of a camping trip to which foreigners of different nationalities go. Then, write about how they accept each other's cultures, their affinities, their dislikes; this will also be a chance to mention racism.
- An elderly man, or elderly woman, reading his/her diary from when he/she was a teenager. The story would be some kind of flashback, and we would be able to see the evolution between how the person was before, and he is now, how mature he has become, and what he thinks of his actions in the past, when he used to scream at his parents, have his tantrums, or simply do crazy things.
- Addiction is an interesting subject. Addiction to video games, television, alcohol, cigarettes. How some addictions seem to cut some teens from the world, take them away from reality, and into their little fantasy world (i'm thinking World of Warcraft, for example)
Most of these themes are somewhat serious... because i think every teen should read a book that's worth it, and be able to learn something from it lol.
Really hope i helped, good luck!!!

Answer 2

If you email me, I can and will help you. If you don't...like some of the others said...write what you know. I have sold books, children's stories, and magazine short stories, and what they are looking for except for the very young readers, in the young adults are life issues. Things that teens deal with, and can solve in a creative way. That doesn't mean it always has to be good, just interesting. Stay away from cliches',,,,write from the heart. Don't be afraid to write what you think. It's more interesting to read about what people really feel then what the author thinks a typical teen feels....sometimes you guys are right.....we, as grownups have forgotten......remind us.

Answer 3

The unknown Author

Answer 4

A man goes to prison because he does not want his daughter to participate in a particular childrens' theatre, for religious reasons. His ex-wife sues him for that and so the judge throws the father in jail and the father dies. He's never been to jail and so the shock kills him. And neither the ex-wife nor the daughter know or care that the man died.

Answer 5

Writing from your own experience is usually the best idea. Even what appears to be boring and hum-drum to you will most likely make fascinating reading for everyone else.

Answer 6

I'd be tempted to try something really contraversial, something that really goes against the grain of society. I have a really great book about living in bohemia, you should read it, it is very inspirational.

'Among The Bohemians:Experiments in Living 1900-1939' by Virginia Nicholson.

Good luck and let us know when you've wrote it, i'd love to have a nosy.

Answer 7

A wave at midnight that shone golden, but no one knows why or how!

Answer 8

a murder mystery with a new twist!

Answer 9
