Hope I manage to get your juices flowing!
1. Take a Break!
Believe it یا not, it helps to back away from the story for a little while. I mostly write at night when my parents are sleeping. When I get stuck, I sit in the recliner for a few منٹ with my mp3 player and daydream. مزید often than not, it helps me out!
2. Listen To Your Dreams!
As screwed up as some of my dreams are, they can sometimes be my creative outlet. Some of the things in my dreams give me ideas. I consider myself a fantasy writer, so the stuff I see in my dreams helps me سے طرف کی giving me a تفصیل of a place in my story. For instance, Grunge Valley. A place in my story where the evil creatures lurk...
A land of eternal darkness. The skies are always grey and depressing. The valley was covered with thorns and decaying plants. In the distance, they could see the castle, tall and overpowering. An evil aura just seemed to reflect from it. How was it possible something could stand it here, Roni thought?
3. Media!
Another way to come up with ideas is to get them from your پسندیدہ کتابیں یا movies. I'm not saying to completly copy the movie, that's illegal! I'm saying just take notice of a few things آپ found interesting in them.
For example; I'm recently re-reading James Patterson's Maximum Ride series. A thing I like about the book is how he introduces the comedy. The way the book is written, I could easily see it as a TV دکھائیں یا movie. I can see it easily in my mind.
Another example, in one of my پسندیدہ movies, The Brothers Grimm, the movie is packed with hints from other fairy tales. When Jacob hides in the mattresses when the tower is collapsing (The Princess and the pea), the queen's evil mirror (Snow White), and the queen's insanely long hair (Rapunzel).
Your keywords: I like how they did that!
4. Write It All Down!
It doesn't hurt to daydream. But when آپ get an idea, write it down یا record it. The idea may not seem like a good idea at the time, but if آپ come back to it later, like if آپ write another story, آپ may like it. آپ might even tweek it a little bit. I can't tell آپ how often I drift off and wish I would have done something to remember it!
5. Brainstorm!
When writing, it helps if آپ know what you'd like to happen ahead of time. Something that helps me are story charts. Writing down the chapter and writing what happens in it is a good way. Another thing آپ could do is to make a درخت web. آپ know, those annoying charts they make آپ do in math class for square roots and factors? Only instead of numbers, make it a sequence of events.
I really hope my مضمون managed to help آپ a little:)
