Question:

May I borrow your creativity? I wanna write a book, fictional, but I have no clue what to write about!?

Here's the thing. I love writing. Anything, poetry, short stories, songs, whatever. My next goal is to write a novel, but I have the worst problem possible, I dont know what to write about. I dont know if I should write a murder mystery, or a girly book, but I swear not to write like anything gossipgirlesh. I love stuff about vampires, werewolves, and other superhuman things. But i want to write something new, something that doesnt resemble any book on the shelves at Borders. So, I ask, WHAT SHOULD I WRITE ABOUT?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Okay, so you have the same problem I once faced.

First, decide what type of book you like to read the most and do read the most.

Then pick 5of your favorite books on the same genre and decide (this is the most difficult part), why you liked it, and be honest to yourself.

Pick a topic that you will like to read about, trust me that is the only way you'll write a good novel.

Then brainstorm and write down everything comes to your mind. Then try to make a storyline out of it.

Now you have everything you need to write about. Just pick up the pen and write down your story.

Good luck
