I’m writing a short story for a creative writing class and I don’t quite know where to take it. suggestions?


It has started as a story about a dentist who is repulsed by people’s simple, minor flaws (like crooked or discolored teeth). I don’t know if I should leave it as a description of a lonely man or put in a conflict, climax, resolution etc. any ideas or things that might help me come up with ideas?

Who is a ****?d writer (Nanowrimo help)?


In need to write a story for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in my English class, and I’ve got writer’s block. I was wondering if anybody could give me some idea’s to help out my story. Here’s my basic storyline (well this is kind of a prologue I wrote for it):
Life isn’t ***? easy ***? it was 500 years ago. A simple task ****?h ***? crossing the street could lead to your untimely demise. The year is 2508. The stock market has completely crashed. Money ***? we know it is worth absolutely nothing. Things we used to take for granted are now our only form of ***?rrency. Due to diseases being spread throughout the air, the average lifespan of a human being is now about 40 years old, and animals have been mutilated into much bigger animals due to diseases. “The Element of One” is a story about Michael Hudson, a man with a ***?mily, struggling to survive in the wasteland formerly known ***? the United States of America.
Well i have an overall plot (listed above) ****? I just need help with some ideas to help move the plot along.
