1. After a child builds a
sandcastle on the beach, a fantastical story happens within it. — Writing.Com
2. Use this plot in a short
story: If we fight the stranger, we shall hit our brothers. — (From Chinua
Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart”)
3. You sit at the same coffee
shop sipping vanilla lattes watching the world go by, one day a female barista
asks you want you think about as you watch the people walk by, you respond with
'Do you wanna know?' — REDDIT
4. Do you have a time period
you routinely set your stories in? Today, choose a story you’re struggling with
and reimagine it in a different decade or century. Perhaps setting your story
further in the past will help you get your point across in a more engaging way.
Maybe placing your main character in the future will enable him or her to
accomplish a goal that would otherwise be unfeasible. Although it can be easy
to become fixated on a certain era, think about the story holistically and consider
how the setting can help direct your writing. — Poets&Writers
