Many people like to write stories, but many think that mastering this art is an easy thing, but in fact it is an art that has foundations and steps that must be followed, and some of them confuse the thought with the story. Thinking that any idea that comes to the mind of a person can be written, the story is considered an integrated art with its parts and elements, and it cannot dispense with any of its elements, and the stories are divided into: the story, the stories, the novel, the tale, the short story, and we will talk in this article about how stories are savored And distinct ideas for stories.
How to get story ideas:
We will talk about how to get ideas for stories through the most important daily things that we go through, which are:
Dialogue:
What is meant here is hearing the conversations that take place between people, whether in homes, restaurants, cafes, etc., and through the conversations that we hear, it is possible for the writer to hear strange ideas or words and write them down, or it is possible for the writer to see a dispute between people as well as to write what Their reactions are how to be in anger and so on.
Daily News:
Reading the daily news, most notably, helps a lot in inspiring ideas, but the writer must know that he does not always focus on real and regular stories, but rather unleashes his imagination, for example he reads the news of the authorities' arrest of a bank robber, so the writer composes events about the thief and his character And the reasons that led him to commit this act.
And newspapers or daily news are full of crimes related to theft, murder, various betrayals and natural disasters, and many well-known story writers said that their stories are inspired by this news, for example the well-known writer (Karen Groschman) says that one of her stories is inspired by a flood that occurred in the United States of America. .
Daily events:
The events that the writer is going through is also considered a main inspiration for writing stories. There are many ordinary and unusual events, accidents, disputes, illnesses and sudden deaths, and so on.
Dreams:
Dreams are considered a vast world of ideas that come either from the subconscious or from the fabric of the imagination, and many writers said that one of the most important inspiration for their ideas came from dreams and dreams, in which they saw strange animals, events or strange people, and dreams are considered one of the most important sources for fantasy stories Scientific as well.
Meanings association method:
The meaning collapsing means that the writer hears words from several people and connects these meanings to a set of words that they are related to and composes a title for his story through that, for example the word (car) on which the writer can build words such as: husband, wife, family, house Marriage and making up a story titled Goal or Happy End, and so on.
Finally, the writer must taste the stories after obtaining the ideas, meaning that the writer focuses on the quality of the story in terms of its size and the main and subsidiary events and giving it the correct artistic form, and the dialogue is also brief and has many meaningful symbols, and also takes into account the narrative language with an aesthetic structure and description Place and time accurately.
I'd say that the best way to come up with distinct story ideas is to give an ultimate "emotional experience" to your readers. That's the best method that will never go wrong... and will never go out of style.
