Someone asked me: where to find ideas for writing a story? How can you create a story starting from scratch? Relying on inspiration? In reality, ideas for writing stories already exist, but they are not always visible. They are around us and within us. Who is the writer, have you ever asked yourself this question? Anyone can be a writer, in your opinion? The answer to this question is no. The answer to the first is that the writer is a creator of alternative realities. How does he create these realities? Is he a god? No, he's just a human being.
Yet he manages to create, to develop worlds, lives, situations. And he does it because he is a dreamer, because he has a deeper vision of everything than others. Because he has a more marked sensitivity,Phone Number Data because he sees what others are not allowed to see. The writer follows two methods to find ideas for writing stories: reading and the world around him. A static and a dynamic method. Read a lot, read everything I already talked some time ago about how reading helps writing , how it is a sort of preparatory study both to be able to write better and to open the mind to new ideas, new concepts, new thoughts.
The writer reads not only to relax and spend pleasant moments, but to discover, explore and store information. When I read, as I have said several times, I study. I study the writer's style, I study his language, I study the way of creating metaphors , I study the techniques of resolving scenes, setting up dialogues, presenting characters. All this information stays in the mind, along with plots and characters and situations. By reading non-fiction, then, you acquire other information, of a historical, technical, philosophical, religious, mythological nature and so on. And the mind fills with concepts that finally ferment, transforming into ideas. Ideas for writing stories.
