#finding ideas

I do! And yes you may. I have a writing blog @rosy-writes but i don’t have as many followers as this one, and this is my main so I answer questions here and repost them there sometimes.

Too many stories in your head is not a bad problem to have. There are many solutions. You can just, you know, PICK one. And then write it. And when you’re done with that, pick another! Woo hoo!

Or you can write one until you get stuck on it, then switch to the other and write that until you’re unstuck on the first, then proceed to switch back and forth while your subconscious works on the part you were stuck on, while still keeping your writing juices flowing. I have actually done that where I’ve worked on, say a fanfic and an original fic at the same time, and they kind of work together to help me get more done on either than I would have done at all if I”d only written one story.

Or you can take two or three ideas that you have and COMBINE them to make one story. Sometimes adding unrelated ideas to the same story can give your story a frisson that deepens the story and gives you enough energy to take it all the way through. 

Actually, the one thing that I think you should, the problem I think you’re ACTUALLY having, is not about having too many ideas, it’s about not committing to finishing any of your stories.

That’s the challenge YOU have.

You need to get to the end of your book and write the conclusion. You need to pick a book. And you need to commit to it. And you need to not run away until you get to the end.

Writing is writing. You live in this world among adult stories all the time. YA has some different conventions, but in general, they’re just regular stories aimed at younger people. Age your characters up. Take them out of YA settings. Use your imagination to think about stories that people have once they are on their own.

You have parents and family members and neighbors and friends and teachers and other adult people who you’ve been aware of your whole life. And if you’re NOT aware of the stories and lives they’ve been living, take this opportunity to IMAGINE them as if they were the main characters in an adult story rather than a background character in a YA story.

Actually, maybe that might be a way to bridge your confusion. Imagine a YA story with a teen as a MC. Now. Instead of writing that story. Pick a background or secondary character who is an adult and tell the story from THEIR POV. 

Set in a high school? Ok. Make it be about the teacher. About the drama a kid goes through? OK. Make it about the kid’s mother. Yes, maybe a coming of age story is what you’re familiar with, but how does that coming of age story affect another person... or maybe it doesn’t. Maybe a side character doesn’t even CARE about the YA’s coming of age revelations because they’re too busy dealing with...IDK, pick a problem. An abusive marriage? A son who is a drug addict. A desire to be an artist but they’re stuck being the breadwinner? A mental health crisis? Or maybe it’s a good thing, not a tragedy. Maybe they meet someone they think they could fall in love with. Maybe they win the lottery. Maybe they discover their long lost father? Maybe you look for the good in the tragic story and the bad in the happy story? Maybe you write a story about a grandma laying on a lounge chair staring up at the stars remembering all her goals and dreams and joys in her life.

I have been writing a short story every month and posting it on my blog (www.authorjjhanna.com/blog). However, this means that every month, I need at least one (1) good piece of creativity or inspiration.

As you know, as writers yourselves, this is asking a lot from my brain, and as such, I’ve had to learn how to intentionally seek out or spark creativity.

One of the things I do to make sure the good ideas don’t slip away is to jot at least one sentence about the idea in my phone notes app. If I can’t do this at the moment, I will speak the idea out loud to whoever is nearby in hopes that they’ll help me remember later.

Next, I allow myself to wander down many rabbit trails in my mind. For example, one of the stories I wrote (I Saved Him) spun off from a thought about in office bullying and what would you do if your mom was scolding you for doing what you thought was the right thing as an adult?

Another of my stories (A Night in the Snow) stemmed from my wondering what would happen if there was another car in the parking lot when I closed the coffee shop where I used to work, and if that person was a criminal. Who were they?

It’s questions like this that help me to find at least one (1) good idea every month, or at least an idea I can toss around and mess with.

And if none of that works, there’s always the option of creating fanfiction AU’s for my own OCs or spinning down the rabbit trails of “What would happen if Zuko went to Wonderland?” or “If Lucy hadn’t entered Narnia in winter, what would have happened then?”

Usually by the time I’ve explored those options, the characters no longer act like the originals, because I didn’t try very hard to maintain their integrity, and then it’s a simple matter of changing their names and seeing how it reads.
