so im not to creative and we have to write a creative story. i was wondering if you guys could help me out and give me ideas for a plot. thanks everyone!
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to xKuroiTaimax again.Creativity has to come from inside... Or you seek out inspiration in something that means alot to you.
Or challenge yourself to just pic a random topic (flick through an encyclopedia) then research it to build up a story.
Sometimes when I know I need the practice I literally open up a black page on Notepad/TextEdit and stare at it until I start writing. Like really make myself start. A story doesn't have to start at the beginning either.
What are you passionate about? Weed. Write the ultimate stoner story.
Go to tvtropes.org (or something like that) and browse common plot devices.
Like 'the journey', 'the coming of age story', 'the account', 'the contest/goal-oriented story' etc.
It's your story. It's your plot.
Even if it sounds shit to you it's better than asking other people to give it to you.
Throw what you have in your head out there and work with it. It might be a whole lot better than you think. When it comes to writing, don't dismiss anything immediately.
Also, if you read alot of books you';ll be familiar with common themes and devices authors use. Get reading- get inspired.
Good luck.
Inbox me with your draft so I can Beta it for you.
EDIT: DUH... One last tip: this might help
--these are a couple of good short story kick-starts that are pretty fun. . .start each sentence with letters of the Alphabet in order for example --Anus had a hard time explaining his name to people. Bob, Tom, Rick, why couldn't his mother have named him something normal like that? Carrying around a name like Anus was an unfair burden and because of this, Anus became very fond of explosives as a way to release his frustrations. . .etc or another good one is pick a fairy tale and write it in a different style-- one of my fav's is tabloid journalism ie "Pigs found slaughtered. Wolf prime suspect!" Investigators were called to the scene of a grisly crime scene today. Ham-hocks and bloody pigs feet littered among piles of hay in what appears to be a demolished house. . . and oh, yes, being thunderously stoned whilst writing is very helpful
Kuroi you're too good to meNo one can prove I did it...
Rainbow, your stoned ramblings and misreadings have produced some of the most endearing and memorable moments in the history of this forum.. I'd very much like to read some of your fictional prose if you swing that way.
You're too good not to be xKuroi you're too good to me
