I want to do some writing exercises and i was wondering if anyone had any story ideas i could use to practice !.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Thinking of random sentences can help! Once, I was given the idea ' a man stood in a field'!. It sounds simple, but I got the idea of writing a story about a UFO! And it was really cool!

Some sentences to build up on for ideas are:

A man stood in a field looking at the sky!.!.!.!.!.
Everything went silent!.!.!.!.!.
There once was a lonely and old man!.!.!.!.!.
There used to be an old and friendly lady!.!.!.!.
It yelped!!.!.!.!.!.!.


Some ideas to write about are:

Finding a portal to a mystical world
Being sucked into a computer, and being inside the computer games!
Going on holidays and finding a ghost
Finding a sea monster!
Summer Holidays!
A school camp! (Can be a horror story, a comedy, a sci-fi!)
A kid or teen becoming a spy


I hope these help you! You can alter these ideas to fit want you want to - you can change it from a lady to a man, going on holidays and finding treasure etc!.
