Need Inspiration
Okay, so, I like writing, and I want to start a new book. When I was ten (four years ago), I wrote a book that my friends and family really liked. It was a 230 pg. fantasy novel (with mythical creatures and all that stuff), and now I want to write a new fantasy novel. I just can't think of any good ideas though. I mean I've had ideas, but none of them actually got anywhere. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You should write down your dreams when you wake up each morning and build an awesome story around them.

I am a non published writer and have written stuff since I was about 10 also. Have a pad of paper near you at all times or run to your computer and have a saved document where you jot your ideas as they come to you. Currently I am writing about time travel, a freak of mother nature sends one guy hundreds of yrs into the future..our time. Imagine how strange todays world is for someone from centuries ago? So much time travel has been written of us going into the past or into the future but I haven't come across my scenerio.
Think of a fairy tale you love and take a spin off of that. Like the princess and the frog who is a prince. Her kiss breaks the spell and he becomes human again.The basic plot is that an animal becomes human again. For you to take a spin off of that, what if the animal was never human to begin with, lets say a dragon. And the dragons can talk and interact with humans and this dragon is friendly and befriends a girl and falls in love and wants to become a man, the story reveals how he goes about finding a way to do that which of course must involve magic. To give an extra twist, perhaps there is a real human boy trying to court the gal so the dragon has a rival. To add another twist, the dragon may know that male as the guy who trains him and rides him. See what I mean?
How about the story of the girl whose brothers were turned into swans by the evil step mother and she must do something that turns them back into humans. What if the brothers are turned into something non living, such as different statues in a beautiful garden on the grounds. And their statues come to life for a short period every night or perhaps only on the full moon. Then you write about who she goes to for help and what can be done to break the spell. Let me know if this helps and what ideas you come up with. I love to give help and encouragement to those who write.
