Fiction Story Ideas

"Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything." ~ Ivana Trump

How truly said, the best writing for creative writers is the gift of fiction writing! You can expand all horizons and write absolutely anything with words so powerful and convincing that fiction appears more believable than truth! Take Stephanie Myers or J.K. Rowling for example! With words so powerful and the flow of writing so intact, these writers have forced us all to believe in vampires, werewolves and wizards, with their writing skills. Writing is putting your thoughts into words, and that too in synchronization with your thoughts! When it comes to writing a good fiction story, ideas play a very vital role! In the same way beauty inspires a painter to mix the natural beauty with the beauty of his imagination and colors, similarly, the people and activities in the world inspires a writer to mix his observations with his creative thoughts and write something which mesmerizes the readers to a great extent!

Ideas for Fiction Stories

How to write fiction? Just like a successful painter is the one who not only uses his visual skills but also his imaginative skills to come up with paintings, strokes and color combinations never seen before, a successful fiction writer is the one who not only uses his writing and observation skills but also mixes it up with his own imaginative thoughts and comes up with content that has never been thought of before! I mean, we all knew about magic and wizards, but who thought of the game of quidditch? Mentioned below are some ideas for fiction writers.

Scientific Fiction Story Ideas
Speaking of scientific ideas, you need to think of a story which has an element of shock and surprise. Being a writer, you can write and think absolutely anything for fiction science stories, but it has to be something which has not been thought of! Concepts like time machines, robots and alien attacks have become too monotonous, unless you come up with a twist in the existing concept or make the story line way too catchy. You can try to build a story on the following concepts.

• What if there was a way to become mortal, how would life be then, if it was available only to the rich and powerful?
• What if you could interpret the aura that each and every person emits? How would people perceive things then and how would it impact the world?
• What if a chip was put in human body which gives all your access to the government, including your thoughts and actions!
• How would there be life on earth without an ozone layer and trees? What would man do?
• The rotation of life cycle on earth. The earth is going back to the state from where it started.

Realistic Fiction Story Ideas
"Fiction was invented the day Jonas arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he had been swallowed by a whale." ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The best thing about realistic ideas is that you can write absolutely anything that you observe in the world. This way, you have more chances to get inspirations to write by observing the things around you. As quoted by Jim Rohn, "The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself." You can get an amazing story line for fiction writing by observing the little things around you. A few examples for the same would be,

• You live in an old house and there is a secret opening to another world through your attic.
• Each and everything in your life gives you a picture of your past life. How? Build a story line!
• Your dreams can also help you get the perfect fiction story idea! Think of the dream you remember the most, be it good or bad, and build a story indicating the significance behind these.
• Looking at the huge trees around you, what do you think? I think that these trees might be hundreds of years old and have witnessed so many things and changes in the world. What if they could actually speak and tell you those instances. What if they knew what the future would be like? What if they could tell you how to stop the end of the world?

Apart from building an interesting concept, be it long or short story ideas, another most important thing in fiction writing is creating characters in a story, which is possible only when you are clear about the concept and idea. Build the story lines on the aforementioned tips and your personal observations, mix it up with your imagination and come up with a story that can hold the reader's sensations. All the best! :)
