Writing stories is fun, but it can also be hard. You have to come up with an idea and then write it down, which can be difficult. But don’t worry! Here are some tips that will help you find the perfect story:
Where to start
When you’re looking for the perfect story, start with a character and a situation. Before you move on to anything else, make sure that both of these elements are present in your mind.
If they aren’t there yet, then start over again at step one: character, setting and situation.
Explore your interests
A good way to get the perfect story is to explore your interests, use what you know and love and be open-minded about what might inspire a great idea.
Here are some questions that can help:
- What am I interested in?
- How can I bring together my interests with writing?
- Are there other people who like this kind of thing too (maybe they’re not writers)?
Create a story prompt
A story prompt is a sentence or two that will inspire you to write a story. It’s like the seed of an idea: it ignites your imagination, guides where and how you go, and makes it easier for you to keep writing – and even editing down once things start coming together.
For example: “The book was great! I loved every single word in it.” If someone said this to me, I could immediately think of what happens next—but if they added something more specific like “The ending was sadder than expected,” then my brain would run wild trying to figure out what happened next (or how!). This kind of specificity helps writers stay focused and find their way through their stories without getting lost along the way or losing track of what’s important at any given moment in time!
Read a lot, read widely
Reading is the single most important thing you can do to get better at writing.
Reading allows you to hone your craft and learn from other writers. It also exposes you to new ideas, which will help you develop as a writer in general.
Reading widely helps with understanding the world around us, which is essential for any writer who wants their work to be engaging and meaningful beyond just being entertaining or informative.
Keep a journal
One of the best ways to learn more about yourself and your story is by keeping a journal. A notebook or journal can be used any time you want to write down something in order to remember it later, but it’s especially helpful when writing down ideas.
You may have an idea for a book or movie that you’re working on, or maybe you’re just curious about how other people think about certain situations. Whatever it is, keeping a journal will help keep track of these ideas so that they don’t go away after they come up!
Writing down dreams is another great way for us all because we often forget them later on—but if we write them down now then maybe one day someone else will see something in them worth remembering as well! It also gives us an opportunity for self reflection: what does my dream mean? Why do I feel so strongly about this one particular dream?
Story ideas in fiction
As a writer, you have many tools at your disposal to find story ideas. Fiction is the best place to start. Not only do you have a wide variety of stories available, but also all of them are specifically designed for their genre or theme. In this article we’ll look at how to find story ideas in fiction and some examples of where they come from.
First off: what kinds of stories are there? Well, there’s everything from sitcoms (like Seinfeld) to action movies (like Die Hard). Even though these types may seem similar on the surface level – they both deal with characters who live through dramatic events – they’re actually very different on an internal level because each one has its own unique structure and style that makes it distinctive enough so as not just be compared against another narrative structure like say…a novella!
Writing stories is fun and you can write about anything.
