Finding The Idea

Finding an idea can be hard for some people. though we experience things in life many times, we are still stuck. The way I find stories is by being open and listening and seeing my surrounding a bit more.

Have a notepad.

I always carry a notepad to write ideas down. I have been doing it for the last 2 years and when ever I can't find and head on the top of my head, I visit this notepad and look through some ideas to develop.

There is no bad idea

You and me as a writer can get very hung over when it comes to judging our work. You may find out your genius idea may have already been made. It may be a let down but guess what, it is an idea! There is not right or wrong. If you thought of an idea b yourself, it's yours! These ideas come from your experiences. For me it's not a bad thing but it annoys the hell out of me when I find out my amazing idea ended up being made already.

Accept that your idea might have been made but make it your story. It is yours to tell. Don't get stuck up trying to find a unique idea but develop that idea to it's best.
