Where do Ideas come from?

Dreams Sometimes a vivid dream can give us an idea for a story. What vivid dreams have you had? Would they make interesting stories?

Stories from Other People Sometimes friends and family members tell us a story about something that happened to them. With added details and twists, could their story make an interesting work of fiction? What stories from people you know could you embelish?

Words and Phrases Sometimes a word or sentence pops into our heads and gives us an idea. Ever have a sentence pop into your head that you thought would be great in a story? Ever thought up a word or short phrase that would make a great title?

What if…? Sometimes the best stories come from simply asking “What if…?” What kinds of “What if…?” questions can you come up with?

Your Assignment Make a list of intriguing titles. Make of list of interesting sentences. Write down any interesting dreams you have had that would make good stories. Make a list of character names. Add descriptions or story ideas that go along with them. Make a list of interesting “What if…?” questions. Consider how you would answer them.

Pick One and GO! Choose one of the items from the brainstorming section. Write me a short story. Beginning, middle, and end…but no more than two pages (okay…I’ll give you three if you ask nicely) This will give me an idea of who you are as a creative story writer. No pressure. It just gives me a chance to see what direction I can and should take you.
