Most of my stories are inspired from other books/tv series, but most of the time I get mine from dreams and scenarios I think of before falling asleep ;))

Most of my ideas just come to me when I least expect, probably from things I’ve seen through the day that stay in my subconscious. Writing prompts also help a lot.

Weirdly enough, I also get a lot of new ideas when it rains XD

Most of the time I never see how the story ends, or if I remember how it ends I don’t remember the middle

Same here :joy: I always wake up before it finishes. I’m actually writing a murder mystery that I dreamt about. Unfortunately I never found out who did it so based on what I dreamt and what I’ve added I had to decide who did it and why

Oh gosh! Happy not to be the only one :joy: I literally wrote my story after I woke up of a horrible sleep, but didn’t had a clue about the ending :joy:

One time I died in my dream and I “replayed” the story and made a different choice to continue, like an episode story.
It was so funny. Well I don’t remember much of the middle of the story but yeah it was cool

I remember this dream very clear and I wrote it down. I was the detective and I pick up something from the floor then said “Oh my god I know who it is” and then I woke up! So disappointed :+1::joy: I hope I’ve got the right person lol

Honestly, I just come up as I go on. I’ve always had the ability to come up with Interesting things with writing, not just on episode but just in general :sweat_smile: I also come up with things throughout the day, even when I’m not writing

I have 3 stories so far.
My first was inspired by the dating shows I’d watch on tv (don’t judge me :sweat_smile:) and I added my own twists for more dramatics and deception!
My second was just a random thought that ended up spiraling into such a deep, dark hole (I usually write and come up with more ideas as I go) and I’m obsessed with how it’s turned out.
My third is actually a story my friend and I created in 6th grade. I’ve kept it for almost 12 years and finally had the opportunity to bring it to life :blush:

Inspiration can come in sooo many different forms because all three of my stories started off in completely different ways :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heartpulse: But you definitely need more than just inspiration because I’ve also started at least 2-3 other stories that never made it past the first episode :woman_shrugging:t2:
