We've all been there. You finally have the motivation to write. You don't care, it could be a short story, a novella, or a full blown epic fantasy. However, you just can't seem to come up with an idea. It happens to the best of us. Today, I'm going to provide you with a variety of ideas to spark stories that you will love to write. Lets begin! First of all, where do ideas come from? Ideas can come from anywhere. They could come from the lamp across the street late at night, they could come from a family dispute over the holidays. Inspiration could strike everywhere. Which is why you should always keep a note keeping system with you. Whether it's just your phone using Google Keep, or a physical notebook, the best way to find inspirational story ideas is to be at the ready when they come to you. Especially keep a notepad by your bed so you can catch those sleep-induced ideas. But I need an idea RIGHT NOW! Okay, okay, I get it. You want to get an idea and get writing right away. Below are some helpful strategies for the genesis of stories. I hope they are useful. However, remember it would be best if you find your own strategy to come up with ideas, one specific to you.
Use story prompts. There are a lot of fun story prompts out there. I personally follow several Instagram accounts that regularly post prompt ideas. You never know when writing something off of a prompt could lead to something wholly your own!
