Young Writers Society

I hope someone could help me out with this one...

I got one week to submit a short story to my tutor... seems easy, right?

Well, i'm having trouble conjuring up an idea, i'm totally stumped.

I've tried looking at magazines, listening to music, pick and mixing; characters, objects and locations.

My mind has gone blank! Does anybody know of any more solutions?

Thanks a lot.

Free writes. If you haven't tried them yet, do so. Just sit down for five minutes and write anything and everything that comes into your head. Don't let yourself slow down until the time is up even if you have to repeat the same thing over and over. You'll be surprised at what kind of ideas come out.

I second that. I don't freewrite nearly as much as I ought to, but it's great practice, and often helps dispell writer's block.

yes free writing is the solution.

My name, try my name or try this: keep yourself with questions and jot down the answer somewhere-

Write on your passions, such as the place you like to go to (or place you are good at describing by writing or drawing)
If you like that place how do you like it? Describe how it makes you happy. What kind of person make you sad?
What kind of person make ya happy? How do they make you happy or unhappy? If you are good at something, write on that
