Writing Topics for Creative Writers

[image error]

The struggle of every creative, fiction writer: coming up with new ideas. I constantly fear that the day will come where I have nothing new to write about, and while that is a valid fear, it probably won’t actually happen. There are countless blog posts with writing topics, story-idea-generators, and plenty of new fads that you can craft to fit into your own, unique universe. To help combat this fear, I am here with my own list of writing topics:

Write about…



A time you were heartbrokenA time you were upliftedA time you felt humanity was doomedA time your faith was renewed in humanitySomething you loveSomething that confuses youSomeone you metSomeone you heard talking out and aboutSomeone who is the opposite of youA situation where you questioned your beliefsA moment in time that changed your lifeDiscovering your family lineageDiscovering something about your family (good or bad)



Write about a place…



In perilThat is the complete opposite of our ownIn a fantasy settingThat disturbs youThat you have been to, but not many people have heard ofThat inspires youThat has changed youWhere you have spent most of your lifeWhere you were seriously injuredThat you knew, but no longer recognizeThat scares youThat no longer existsThat is made up, but describe it as if it is realThat is real, but make it seem as if you don’t believe in itIn folkloreIn history



Write from the perspective of…



A maidAn androidA terrifying creatureA villainA computerYour cellphoneYour cousinA friendA birdA small creatureA large beastA friendly giantA scheming manAn angry womanA body partA piece of furnitureA carA neighborA creature from folklore

Take one from each category and mix them together, or just get inspired by a single entry on any of the lists. You can’t go wrong, as long as you keep writing.
