Story ideas area is full of em. If not exactly what you'd write, it can often lead you in a direction.
 
Yes, Story Ideas is the place to look for that, but I must suggest that if you can't generate ideas to write about, I don't think you're really ready to write yet.

Maybe the right idea just hasn't hit him yet. Ya never know until it does.

Maybe. It's something I just don't understand, though. Writing by committee or thinking you need to write but needing to live off of someone else's creativity from the very beginning. *shakes head*

Story ideas is such a weird place. I've yet to find anything I'd specifically write but have, on occasion, found things in the area of what I might write.

It's like a request hotline, idea validator, and share my fetish cult all in one.

There'd gold in dem der hills but be prepared to move a shit ton of muck to find it. :p

I think the confusion lies in how much you stay to the exact specs of the concept.

I'm inspired by stories I read here all the time. Mine is so vastly different you really couldn't link the two.

Technically though, the spark wasn't in my head before the story I read.

Well sure, but seeing something that sparks you and asking someone to spark you with something are two totally different fire starters.

Some of us old schoolers can easily build a roaring blaze from a couple of sticks. And we enjoy that as part of the whole process.

Others need gallons of lighter fluid and a Zippo.

Whatever gets ya cooking I suppose.
 
Euphony, I agree with you and especially your last post. I started a story from something that had actually happened to me. Nothing happened beyond me getting flashed IRL. I started the story and hit a wall I had no idea how to continue. It languished for several months. I happened to read a comment on the Fetish and Sexuality board and I knew I had the bridge I needed. I finished it in just a few days.

I must have done OK as the story hung around 4.49(sob) for several months until it was knocked down to a 4.47.

The thing that may be interesting is I had no real interest in that particular thread. I suppose I was bored. I really don't remember for sure.

I can tell im ready to write... i have ideas in mind... just not good specifics. most of my passed stories were sparked by something.

Im not sure that it actually matters. but im a girl ;)

I think ive go enough...now i just need to sit and type. Hopefully the creative juices flow.
 
Ashes at work or As he's at work?

Curious {That sounds so much more genteel than "nosy".} good little witches would like to know.
 
Ashes.... although when i started writing and posting years ago someone swore it the otherway. i might write about cheating... but i write about being with a significant other as well.

my name is ashley. (Ashes)

I suppose in a way...its both.

Kinda disappointed. I was hoping you were the bonfire monitor.
 
Gosh fire brings around some great ideas as well... fire in most cases tends to be a good mood setter.
 
Well i make no promises about a microwave fire... i think bonfire has my name all over it.

Sorry about the confusion on my part. I need to check profiles before I choose a gender. :eek:

Be careful of the good little witch, I think she's a bit of a pyro. That or she hates microwaves.

Me? I don't hate anything! Hey, you over there! Stop that guffawing!

I merely mentioned microwaves because I figured she probably worked in an office and a little microwave incident would be a lot easier to explain than an all out conflagration on her desk.

See? Quite altruistic on my part, I'd say.
 
Humm i have wrote about office fun... but no microwaves... if i can come up with 750 well written words and a microwave is included then ill let you know ;)

And i TXrad i dont think it mattered if i was a girl or a boy. so no harm done ;)
