I thought that since I have been asking for advice recently that I would give out some tips that I know about getting ideas of things to write.
Some ways that you can get ideas of things to write are:
*Read the newspaper. Look for titles that catch your eye, you may get inspired by that. Or you could just read the articles, I read one article today in an old news paper and it mentioned something that caught my eye and gave me an inspiration and a vague idea of a story that has potential.
*Dreams are another way I have gotten ideas of what to write. I remeber one dream that seemed like it could be made into a good story. If you want to get ideas this way you should probably get a notebook or journal to write down your dreams as soon as you wake up so that you'll rember them.
*Be aware of the things around you. You may see someone doing something that may inspire you, like you may see a lady walking quickly with a huge bag that looks worn. This might inspire your story to have a lady trying to hide from the police because of a worn bag that reads "Do NOT open" on a tag. Or it could be as simple as a plant growing in an unlikely spot that may inspire you to write a novel about how there is a certain medicine plant that is the last of its kind, and your character needs it to save herself.
I hope this makes any sense.
