Hello, Fluffsters! Happy Saturday!
Saturdays are wonderful days. You actually have time to do stuff that you enjoy.
I know that for some, enjoyable things can be, like, writing. However, one of the problems with writing is that it’s sometimes hard to figure out what to write about.
(Believe me, I know. I run into it all the time with this blog.)
Well, never fear! For I am here to help you! Here are some:
Ways to Find something to write about.
1) Ask the Google. It’s really easy, and sometimes it even helps!
2) Look to real life experience. I know, that sounds really cheesy. And if you’re looking for something to write about, it sorta indicates that you’re out of ideas, which probably includes looking to real life experience. So, maybe nix that idea.
2) Start keeping a journal or notebook of ideas.
Wait… You just repeated 2 on your list.
No, I didn’t. I struck the first from the list, remember?
But as I was saying:
This mostly only somewhat helps in the long run. But when you have an idea, write it down. And then, you can look back at it. (And then laugh… Depending on how many years it takes you to look back.)
One of the biggest problems with this methodology, besides it taking a long time, is that notebooks (and even files on computers) are so easily lost.
3) Find a nice idea generator. I personally love Seventh Sanctum. They have a number of story generators that actually can actually be quite amusing. For example, the “Envisioner” generator gave me this gem: “The story of Jason and the Argonauts being about a group of barbers.”
Given that Jason and the Argonauts were on a quest to find the golden fleece, that actually sort of fits.
So, fluffsters, happy Writing! (or whatever your weekend may have in store for you.)
