You want to write a story...but udk what to write about.

So you want to try writing a story?

Dunno what to write about?

Well I have tons of advice for you.


MY ADVICE STARTS HERE:

•  Come up with a genre. That is your first step.
• Go to a public place where you can sit and watch people. Make observations, write them down, and come up with characters. Ask yourself how the people around you interact with one another, how they walk, how they talk, their facial expressions. Not only can you come up with some characters, but you can also see the ways in which people live. 
• Read books that are in the same genre as you picked. Get a feel for how the authors write.
• Sit and think for a while. How would your characters feel in different situations? If you think of some good ones, write them down. 
• When would these characters be living? Where? This becomes your setting.
• Put your characters in that setting and figure out what they would do there. 
• Write a sentence about that character(s) beginning his/her story. This becomes your first sentence.
• Create a situation in which the character would be having struggles with themselves, another character, with society, with nature, with supernatural, or with technology. This becomes your main conflict.
• How would your character(s) deal with this conflict? The becomes your resolution or ending.
• Now fill in everything in between your beginning, conflict, and ending.
• You now have just created a story. That wasn't so hard, was it?

If your feeling in the blanks, and get writers block, go exploring or do something with someone, or take a nap, or eat. Take a break. You'll never come up with anything just sitting there, staring at your computer screen.


I hope this helped(:
