Thread Topic: I need help thinking of a story

I can’t find anything to write about and thought a few people would like to help give me ideas, i would give you credit and not take the ideas for myself, so if anyone else has also hit a writers block, they can come here and get a few good ideas.

What happened with the last one? Did you finish it already?

To think of ideas, you can always try using a writing prompt found online.
You can brainstorm - and I like to do that by just listing about 10 random words that I think are interesting. I usually pick a few of the words that feel interesting or connected and some idea usually pops out at me.
You can write a story based off a character. Who is your character? What are they like? What do they want?
If you happen to write down any dreams, those can be good sources for something creative. Sometimes it's just a matter of combining past dreams for me.
You can also take something old that you've written and change it up. Make it new, add new twists.
You could try taking any random object and asking what if questions. Like, what if the sky wasn't blue? What if this lamp stopped turning on? And follow those up with more what if questions.
You could listen to music and write a story based off the mood and lyrics of the song. Someone asked me once to do that to the song Stitches by Shawn Mendes and it was a really fun exercise.
You can set out themes for yourself, like with the writing contest here. One theme is death, right? What would be the perfect murder to you? What would be the perfect suicide? Or perhaps the worst suicide? Ask yourself random questions and answer them.
Hope these ideas help you generate some creativity :) -
