Can somebody give me an idea please?

Question

I'm in the mood to write a story and I usually can come up with an idea, but I'm coming up with nothing, so I was wondering if anyone can give me an idea or writing prompt for a fictional story to write

Answer 1

There is a great big world around you, hon. Tons of things to observe and write about. How about the thoughts of a returning vet? The environment? Someone protesting the war? Something from your own life. Listen to your heart and let it tell you what it wants to say.

Answer 2

Ummm! Hows about you finish a young adult novel I started! Yeah thats a good idea. I never finished it because it was an ongoing thing I kept doing till my computer crashed and I lost it all. Oh Wahhhh....it was like 300 pages long. I wrote it from the ages of 11 to 16, man i had no life as a kid. Email me I might remember how the story line goes! Anyway.....let me see. Oh I know...wait did you go to gaiaonline like I told you? There are alot of ways to get started on a story there.

Slave and Master
Princess and Dragon
Vampire or Werewolf
Fantasy
Killing Romance
Sad Romance
Gay, Bi or Trans
email me I'm in a writing mood too...maybe we can RP till we come up with something good.

Answer 3

Imagine if the moon were struck by a huge meteor in the year 2013 and basically sent the earth slightly further from the sun. And every year, the earth traveled further and further from the sun. The book could start off bieng called 13, and the first book would deal with everything the earth needed to do until it came back to were the moon was, right in there path, ready to hit the earth. Next book....14

Answer 4

I just picked up an awesome book for writing ideas. A prompt from there is: "Write a scene in which a character professes feelings of guilt but clearly does not feel that way. Use action, gesture, and voice to signal his/her true feelings." (Heffron, 2000, p. 118)

That's just a random prompt I pulled out, but it would be an interesting story.

Answer 5

A quiet New England village. It's Sunday. The streets are empty. The church is full. Shots ring out in the town square.
O my God, an 8 ft. tall, bronze statue of a Revolutionary War hero has come to life, somehow. He broke into a gun store and now he's shooting the hell out of piegons. He's yelling "Yes the sins of the fathers have come home to roost. Take that , little speckled one. It was your great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather that started this whole shitty business."

Answer 6

Main character creates a time machine and is about to set off to the past to save his mother while he was young. He ignores what his father urgently tries to tell him and sets off into the past. When he arrives to the time he was 5 yrs old, his time machine lands on his parents and they both die and the time machine breaks. His only chance of saving his parents is to raise and teach his younger self to build a time machine until the materials required becomes available in the future. When the time comes, he tells his son that he is not his real father and that his real parents died decades ago and that the reason he helped him build the time machine is to... but before he can fully explain, the now grown man becomes very upset and jumps in the time machine to save his real parents...

too predictable? yeah, probably...may have worked in the 50's haha

Answer 7

"I am looking at a picture of _____."

Now describe everything you see in great detail; add sound and color.

If you've done this classic exercise before you may use an imaginary picture of a place or situation that's exciting to you. For me that would definitely be an encounter undersea while snorkeling in the Caribbean.

Answer 8

Well, what do you love and know so much about? Judging by your name... Air Force?? Write something to do with flying, if I'm right. Just use your imagination.

Answer 9

How about a story about a lost pet in hurricane Katrina?

Answer 10

A true writer is compelled to tell one of the dozens or even hundreds stories within his or her own mind. A true writer would never ask complete strangers. That's a sign of a true neophyte.
