What are some good ways to think up a story idea?
I want to write a story, I always want to, but have never finished an idea and now I can’t even think of one at all. What are some good ways that I can come up with creative and smart ideas? Like what are some exersizes I can do that make me understand what I want. I am a terrible procrastinator, and am stuck in a ditch. I like stories that are completely fictional, but are really smart. I’m reading Lord of the Flies right now, and am half way through and I already love it. It’s fictional yet smart. I also like the Neverending Story. I can’t really explain that one, it’s like juvenile fiction for older people. It’s a childish plot but an older vocabulary and it’s really long. What kind of an eight year old wants to read a 400 page book? Anyway, I want to think of a smart, creative fictional story idea if there are any exersizes that can help with that at all. Yeah, I’m picky. Any way, thanks in advance for any one who helps out!
I found something to write about, now I just have to put together what happens and all that. The Wanaque UFO, I used to live in the next town over, my cousins live in wanaque, and my best friends live in the two towns surrounding it, so I know a lot about how to describe how things look..now. But not in the 60’s. Anyway, I’m gonna of corse change some things to make it more interesting but keep what happened there. I’m gonna add someone meeting an alien and everything. Okay, I’ve talked enough b.c its cold and my fingers are slowly moving xD. Thank you all!
