I need ideas for a book
I am thirteen years old, and I've decided I want to write a new book. I wrote my first book when I was nine or ten, and it was a completely made up, and all that. Now I want to write another little story, but I just can't decide what the title should be. I want something I can really build on, like about 200-300 pages like my other book. If you have any suggestions I'd like to hear them, because I'm kind of stuck right now.

Hi! I'm also a thirteen-year-old writer. I know for a fact that making up ideas is hard, especially if you're writing something that's 200-300 pages.
When I write a story or novel, I often base it on something important that happened in my life. I went to a summer camp called Camp Stevens a couple times, and some of my stories are based on my experiences there. So you could maybe take something important from your life and add more details to make it more interesting or suspenseful.
Think about the things you care about and the things you enjoy doing. Think about the types of books you enjoy reading, too.
There are a few techniques out there that are great for getting ideas. Also, there are articles on the internet that I look at when I'm trying to think of ideas. I think they will be helpful:

One other thing I recommend is getting a book of writing prompts. I also recommend having a journal with you often so you can write down ideas that come to you, wherever you are.
Good luck with your story!

Hello dear. I enjoy writing. I remember coming home from 1st grade the first couple days of school and practicing trying to write complete sentences with the few words I knew. LOL
I have finally decided to write my first book of publishing quality. When you have the right topic and scenerio's the ideas and scene's will play out in your head in detail faster than you can get them out on paper.
So think of some things you are interested in or passionate about, those will make good topics in a book.
I love romance stories, I love stories set in the historical past, I love the topic of time travel, I love gardening, the outdoors, sightseeing, and tho from a christian background, am more spiritual than religious now and lean toward earth based belief systems, such as pagan, wiccan, druid. So my book has two main characters who are pagan, both in a stone circle in their own time when lightening storm takes the man from the past into our time and the shock it is to his system. He meets the girl, they get married with a handfasting marriage, and later go to visit the country he was from only in todays time. There's the sightseeing part. And it continues on with more adventures and twists and turns.
So you can very easily put lots of things you already have an interest in, into your story. If it is to all be imagination/made up with is the fictional stories, pretty much anything goes...like time travel.
If you want something that feels more non-fictional, perhaps you could even write a story of a teen who is an outcast who secretly writes a book and never tells any peers. It becomes a hit and all the teens are talking about it. She's gone by a different name to publish so not even the school knows its her. So if she as the writer was invited to show up at the school to speak in a teachers language arts class or do book signings at local bookstores, it would be interesting to see what happens when others discover who the real writer is.
That is one where you can put all your experiences as a teen into the story and make it have some very real points, but at the time of the writing be totally fiction.
If you are into research, you may want to do one on relationships for young teens by having the characters experience the stuff teens write us about every day: How do I know if he's attracted to me, how do I know if he likes me, what am I supposed to say when we talk, how can I know when he's flirting, how do I flirt back? What should I do if he's pressuring me for sex or sexting, what does he mean when he says ....... the list is endless and there are few places young kids can go to learn the real hard and helpful facts. I have one good site for you to visit if this is what you choose to do. Let me know. It is very much needed. What a teen goes to read for entertainment value, may then indeed teach them some skills about relating to the opposite sex.

u should tell a little about your story. That way it would be easier for any one to suggest you a title.
But if I suppose that the story is a fiction with a female main character, who dominates in the end, you can name your story 'girl power' or 'the glorious'.................. if you are writing any thing about your self and turning it into a story, then you can name it 'That's Me' or 'My life time'
.... hope this is helpful.... !!!! toodles :)
