Story suggestion?

Postby TUfriend » Thu Nov 08, 2012 8:48 pm

I'm looking to write a story, but I need an idea. What I need is a scenario. I don't need characters and I can make up settings. But I need something like "2 boys are wandering in the woods and bump into eachother." But with more elaboration. Also, I'd prefer teenage males over other demograpics so don't pick something like "Two characters go to the nail salon..."

Hmm, might I suggest your protagonist(s) having a hike, and a rival from school (Like if he's a jock or something) tracks him down and binds him to embarass him, and then he turns the table on his rival?

If you know what you want, go for it. You might get some interesting suggestions from the board, but no one knows better what you want, than you. You get your idea, then "flesh it out" in your mind, and then transcribe your thoughts on to paper or computer.

Of course, you have to fight through "writer's block," and interruptions from friends, family, and phone, but stay with it. Some of us may think the finished product is total trash, but others may think it deserves a Pulitzer Prize. Remember: "You can't please every one, so you got to please yourself."

I agree with m'learned friend. Don't rush it. It will come.
