Hope I manage to get your juices flowing!
1. Take a Break!
Believe it ou 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 minutes with my mp3 player and daydream. plus 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 fantaisie writer, so the stuff I see in my dreams helps me par giving me a description 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 favori livres ou movies. I'm not saying to completly copy the movie, that's illegal! I'm saying just take notice of a few things toi 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 montrer ou movie. I can see it easily in my mind.
Another example, in one of my favori 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 toi get an idea, write it down ou record it. The idea may not seem like a good idea at the time, but if toi come back to it later, like if toi write another story, toi may like it. toi might even tweek it a little bit. I can't tell toi how often I drift off and wish I would have done something to remember it!
5. Brainstorm!
When writing, it helps if toi know what you'd like to happen ahead of time. Something that helps me are story charts. écriture down the chapter and écriture what happens in it is a good way. Another thing toi could do is to make a arbre web. toi know, those annoying charts they make toi do in math class for square roots and factors? Only instead of numbers, make it a sequence of events.
I really hope my article managed to help toi a little:)
This has been a Breebree446 production!
Never did I think that the person I was to face would be the beginning of a war I never wanted to get involved in.
This is a peom I wrote for a competition at my school. Tell me what toi think of it, please?

Have toi felt the torture of hate?
Like a poisonous cloud, it will wait,
Until toi burn in the flames of fury.
Then it will creep up and incapacitate.
Alas! toi will choke, and don’t try to deny your anger.
It is too late.
Hate is like grasping a red hot coal,
Intent on throwing it at another soul,
Instead it is you, yourself, who burns,
Then your own anger shall take its toll,
You’ll bring about your every mistake and failure.
You’ll be alone.

For the first couple months, that's what it really feels like; darkness, always there like the puppy you always wished for to follow you around.
You may think that vampires are the most godly creatures on earth, but it takes more than just a bite to be beautiful.
But I guess this is the price for not agreeing with a vampire.
