Where Do I Get Story Ideas From
Tumblr media
Where Do I Get Ideas For A Story?
A good idea is usually the basis of a story. Without an idea you probably don’t have a story to tell. The first question an author usually gets asked (after ‘How old are you?) is ‘Where do you get your ideas?’
Ideas come from anywhere, anytime, anything. This list is just a basic sample of where ideas can come from. Try one, try them all!
Postcards
It’s not so common to get these now, but you may find a drawer full from years gone by. This also works well with old family photos, or photos of people you don’t know at all! Advertisements in magazines are great too.
Pick a postcard (or photo) with an interesting scene. It’s best if there’s a person in the picture, but okay if not.
Make up a new name for the location, a name for the person.
What were they doing just before the picture was taken/painted?
Where are they going?
Why are they there?
How do they feel right now?
What if you were suddenly in that picture too?
What if the person, animal or thing was suddenly in the room with you?
People watching
This one is easy. When you go out you’ll find a wealth of story ideas in the shopping malls, parks and anywhere that people gather. Stop for a few minutes, sit on a bench or lean against a wall and just watch the people around you. Be careful not to stare or be intrusive – nobody likes a nosy-parker!
Do this with a friend or just write down your observations.
Give them names, occupations, etc
If they have bags or parcels – what could be inside? Who is it for?
Why are they here?
What are they thinking?
Do they like the people they are with? Is it their family or have they just met? Where would they rather be?
Events
Look in the daily paper. There are hundreds of headlines each day that could be converted into a unique story. Don’t just look at the main headlines; look at the small one-paragraph snippets too. A story about a long lost pet reunited with its owner may spark a story idea for you.
Other stories
Yes, it’s okay to get ideas from other people’s stories. As long as you don’t use their story or characters it’s possible to spin off a story off your own. Change it up – take a story and change the setting/time/ages/etc. Romeo and Juliet in the 21st Century would be a very different story. Pinocchio – have the boy turn into a puppet instead – and in a future setting.
Read other books in the same genre that you like to write.
The more you read, the more your imagination will grow and it helps to have a huge imagination to write.
Some great places to start for more information are the following ebooks.

ad.📋✍️ Zelah has been using her reusable dry erase print page board from @schoolfundamentals in her o.t class for the past couple weeks! It has totally improved her handwriting and she enjoys using it and tracing over each letter. There is also space at the bottom for her to write her name without tracing.
👧👦 This is the MY NAME/The ALPHABET double-sided, reusable page board. On one side, kids learn to write their name and the other side capital and lower case alphabet letters. The dry erase pages make practice easy for them until #writingproficiency is mastered.  The set also includes a dry-erase marker. No need to worry about StIcKy FiNgErS & GERMS because it's made of acrylic so it's easy to clean by simply rinsing with soap & water. I also love how the page (board) comes hole punched for easy storage in a binder.
#SchoolFundamentals also has these available in cursive plus they have wall prints for the whole family. Check them out and get 20% off with code: SPRING at https://kids-fundamentals.com?sca_ref=3453774.yTsven04Vq

Ha már itthon oktatok megpróbalom a kicsit is lefoglalni. Mini iskolankban nem lenne osztálytarsa elsőben. Olvasni gyakorlatilag mar megtanult magától, úgyhogy próbálkozunk fel tudna-e zárkózni másodikba. Ezzel a lendülettel fejet hajtok minden pedagógus, főleg pedig azok előtt, akik ugy tanitanak, hogy imádják őket a gyerekek. Biztos, hogy ebbe az iranyba nem fogok pályát váltani..... Nektek hogy megy az online oktatás? . #otthonoktatas #onlineoktatás #homeschooling #gyerekek #mutiahennád #tanulás #karantén #karanténsuli #hennastain #learntowrite #anya #anyatanít #hands #magyarország #maradjotthon (helyszín: Somogyvámos) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Aef1MHge6/?igshid=1lsj3d7gqtnjj

“Writing Down the Bones” by Natalie Goldberg
“...people often begin writing from a poverty mentality. They are empty and they run to teachers and classes to learn about writing. We learn writing by doing it. That simple.” p. 30

This deed belonging to my ancestors from 1898 is one of the reasons learning cursive is still useful and important. Don't let your family history fall by the wayside because you can't read it. #cursive #learntowrite #calligraphy #calligrapher #genealogy https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxUfgpnOhK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gz8pnhflvsfv

For most of human history, writing was a manual endeavor. And there are people who are super passionate about keeping it that way.
For all those who want to practice the Classic Print Style of Handwriting, Advaitam E learning presents a practice video on lowercase letters.
