Anything Can Be a Story
No new story ideas coming to you? Baloney and horse hockey. There are a million and one ideas hitting you every day and that is only barely an exaggeration.
Every single thing that happens or is said is a story idea. Conversations you have with people generate story ideas. Trust me. Whenever I speak with my muses, a ton of ideas flow. Why? Because we're not talking to get ideas. We're being real. We're being goofy. We're loving life. We're generating ideas.
I was complaining about the other half. Thoughts of revenge was jokingly tossed between my friend and me in regard to other half. A story idea sprang up.
Was listening to a song and a story line appeared based on it.
The dogs' antics inspired a story idea.
Dreams are inspirations.
Real life pain, personal experiences, news events, anything can be a story idea.
Never say you can't find a story idea. Open your eyes to the world around you and you can find millions.
Now, that I've just inspired a few hundred more I have to spend the next couple of hours writing them down in my idea notebook.
