Where to get story ideas

[Bonnie]

I love to write short stories, and in order to get fresh ideas sometimes I read http://www.fark.com/ and write fictionalized stories based on some of the more bizarre stories...

You should try it! ;-)

oooh this may get me into writing again, I used to write short stories all the time when I was a teenager and often want to write now but dont seem to find time or inspiration enough lol, I started a star wars story about 6 months ago I think I managed two chapters lol

HAHA! FARK is the best. It's one of two sources I look at for news (the other is Kotaku... video game news!). A lot of my writings are based off of dreams I've had, even vaguely...

My short story ideas usually come from pieces of overheard conversations. For some reason, out-of-context conversation snippets really gets my brain working.

Sometimes I get ideas from things I see while on my walks. I've written a couple of cool flash fiction pieces that way.

Thanks Bonnie. I'll try using this site at some point. I definitely need a fresh source of inspiration.

Bonnie, you're a Farker too?.

Also, I find exquisite cadavers to be a good source of inspiration.
