Tracy Said:

Story starter ideas, for a 14 year old girl?

We Answered:

the thing is to write about what you know. Many authors incorporate their life events into their stories. Think about what you know and what things you write that make you happy. You wouldn't want to write about something you don't like... It can be tedious trying to finish it. Put your life and your thoughts into it.

Alan Said:

writing a scary story?

We Answered:

ok your first two sentences sounds just like the first sentences from The Series of Unfortunate Events.

Yolanda Said:

I'm filled with millions of story/book ideas, but I'm having problems putting them to paper. Can anyone help?

We Answered:

This may sound strange, but... is there any conflict in your life? Sometimes if there is little or no conflict (such as, you're living happy ever after with you husband, everything's a perfect dream come true), then there is no reason to use your creative outlet. Art comes from pain- and I'm willing to bet writing was your escape for a long time. Try to think about either (a) the happiest moment of your life, and if that doesn't work, (b) get lost in the worst part of your past. Induce a depression. Face your deepest fears. It ALWAYS stirs something creative.
