What to do when you're blank of ideas.

A lot of people, either authors or writers, tend all to have the same problem when they're about to publish a fabulous story. They have no idea what to write about. Here are some ideas ans tips.

• If you're going for the realistic type of thing, look for things around you. Go to the park or some other public place where there's a wide variety of people. 
• If you're looking for the fantasy or fiction type of story, also go to a public place. Think of things that can't do in real life and use personification. For example, J. K Rowling wrote  the first book of Harry Potter on a train station.
• If you want to go for something different, try using different perspectives or peculiar characters. (i.e story about two kids getting kidnapped in the view of the kidnapper)
• Let your imagination run!!!
• Think of the ending first, and then build up on it.
• Cut two random photos from the newspaper. Make one picture the ending and the other the beginning.
