Ideas Post

Feel free to comment and add your own. I've come up with these either on my own or from suggestions from people that read my website blog.

1. Feral or Confined Children; either kids raised by animals, or children who were confined in their homes by their horrid parents.
2. A funny segment or episode in my own life (such as how I used to laugh so hard I’d pee my pants in high school–fun).
3. A serious segment in my own life.
4. A person (real or cartoony) that I consider a hero and why.
5. Letters to all my abusers
6. Fiction–Come across a personal diary, read it, and realize my character must find this person asap to rectify whatever is written in the diary.
7. Take lyrics to a song and make a story out of it.
8. Use my own real experience visitng Dachau (Concentration Camp) & write a fiction story about a woman who visits and a woman who died there, almost running into each other on those haunted grounds.
9. A haunted house tale.
10. Main character receives a letter from someone from their past–spends the whole story not opening in, wondering what it says, having flashbacks, then finally reads it, and it is nothing like the character expected.
11. Write a story in the style of a bible gospel about things I have learned from God, what He has shown me.
12. Write a fictional story about a child battling cancer and the courage they show us adults.
13. A child main character living in a tuberculosis ward where his/her parents are ill and they are not–being around death.
14. Find an inanimate object or an animal and write it's story.
15. Choose a favorite painting and write about the meaning behind it.

It is great to see others passionate about expressing through words.We learn so much from others and from reading books by many and varied authors.
