I just want to write a story for fun, is this a good idea? A girl finds a snakeskin on the ground one day. She loves snakes, so she takes it and puts it in a bag and puts the bag on a shelf. That night, she has a dream that the snake needs his skin so he can make his son the king of snakes when he dies. The snake (the king of snakes) is angry at her, and says if you don't give me back my skin, I will find you and hurt you.
That's it, is it a good idea? If it is, what should happen next?

ooops I forgot to say after she puts the bag on the shelf, her mother (who is a clean freak) makes her leave it outside. That night, the wind blows it away, then she has the dream. The story is about her trying to get the skin back.

Sounds weird so I guess it's a good idea because I've never heard that before. I guess what would be next is how she gets it back.

I think it's got a lot of potential. I think that's original.
The next thing you should probably do is decide on a setting & time. Does this happen on Earth or in another universe/dimension, ala Narnia or Valdemar? If on Earth, when does it happen? How she gets around will depend on time & location--cars, horse, on foot, etc. Will she get any sort of aid from others? How far will she have to search & will the King keep an eye on her?
BTW, your characters' names should reflect the location. For some reason, I am see this set in the American Southwest--very Indian, spirit quest sort of thing.
Hope this helped--and good luck!

sounds good! maby the girl should have to go on a long quest to find the snake who the skin belonged to, and then, for pay back since she took the skin, she has to help the snake make his son the king. then, after she helps the snake, she gets a reward, like, since she loves snakes, she gets to take one home to keep as a pet. email me and tell me if you lked my idea! magichelper5@yahoo.com

I'd use this idea:
One day, a young girl finds a worm. She puts it in a jar, but forgets about it. When she comes back it is dried out and dead. She then adds water and it comes back to life. Then a bird swoops down and grabs it. Later the girl finds the worm still alive after it has conquered the bird.

thats sounds good but instead of the snake hurting her he could try to kill her, and then should try to get it back and all these animals and such will help her along the way

Great idea. Very imaginative. Writing is a tough hall however - do your research!
