Where can I find story starters?

We Answered:

A generic approach:

Scetch details of your main characters. Looks, mannerisms, background, etc. Write the details down - or even draw them if you are a visual person.

Then take your main character or characters and imagine them in some odd/out of the ordinary (out of your current works context) places or scenarios – anything goes! Write down ideas on what would have to happen to your type of character or how they would react to the scenario you placed them in.

This may seem futile, but it will help you flesh out your characters further and give you insight into what you may want to happen to this type of character in a potential story. You may even come up with multiple story lines and can see if one of them just seems to be the best or easiest to continue

Strong well-crafted main characters can inspire readers to love your story as well as drive you to write a great story for these imagined beings to be in! :-)

This should get you going. Then you may want to write an outline of you story (a kind of synopsis as Richard mentioned above), including the ending. I have heard that John Irving writes his endings first, down to the last line, and works backwards. The idea of the outline is to give you goals as you proceed. Writing the ending first may give you the "spark" you seek - and also give you something to strive for.

What are some good story starters for teens?

We Answered:

Well, since I cant seem to get anywhee with this plot you can have it.

A man/boy/teen works and lives a regular life until he meets a mysterious and intriguing young woman. But then, he finds how she is from a post apocalyptic world and is slowly beginning to bring her disasters from her world to our current world. But the boy doesn't want to give her up and he wont let her go so the disasters continue.

Any starters for a story im writing?

We Answered:

Sounds kind of like Pretty Little Liars, just saying. You should start it at the morning when the two other friends wake up and find their friend missing and things can escalate from there. Good luck!!! :)
