Hey I'm trying to think of a story to write for my writing class. I can't think of any ideas that would make a good fictional story. It can be about anything and has to be at least 7 typed pages. So any help?

Thanks

First person point of view in the day of the life of a dollar bill.

First person point of view of any inanimate object would be cool. Be a condom, a bullet in a gun that is now lodged in someone's brain, pieces of a chess set that think they are actually fighting a war, etc...
 
Kind of a cheesy idea, but on the idea of a kid playing a video game (i.e. GT3) and in the course of his travels, he actually uses his VGame skills to escape the evil clutches of a evil mastermind. :D

Work with it.....
 
hm...
how about...
some guy that is originally not nature bonded, but somehow, an accedent occurs, he has to fight through it using his knowledge, then he becomes like a caveman (hunting all day) to survive?
 
Maybe street racing? A more realistic approach than TF&TF. Or maybe professional racing? Tuning, imports, drag racing, etc.
 
Be a car, your Mustang. Go back like 2 weeks ago, and remember every time you drove the Mustang, and type as if you are the car. Say stuff about the Mustang breaking down and all that. It would be good.
 
Haha I could be the Mustang that would make a good story. And the condom would be a good idea but the teacher prolly wouldn't like it.

I think I should write about racing since I can do that easily and I have many stories that I could make into one.
 
Then write an allegory.

"My skin was wrapped around the stick and shoved into a cave."

Of course, you'd write something a little more creative than that.
 
Hmm well I might not write that for this paper I'm definalty going to write something like that on another paper.
 
The life of a turd.

Seriously...

"I fell to my demise in this bowl, and then as I rested, a sudden surge of water broke me in peices before going through the pipe. Ofcourse, the fall was harsh, and I left some of me on the bowl..."

See? Good stuff. And call yourself "Turd Ferguson" (or however it's spelled on SNL's Celebrity Jepardy with Burt Reynalds) :lol:

I did a story just like this, I turned myself into some type of physco that was in the mental mind set that GTA:3 was a simulator to prepare me for my big show called "real life". It was my training, like they use in Miltary training. Then once I felt I was ready, I went into the real world went crazy and ended getting caught by the FBI, after obtaining (what I thought was a wanted level of: ) 5 stars.

My teacher loved it. Plus all your research is right at home, on your PS2! Gotta love that.
 
Well I writing the story of a kid who owns a Focus and pretends he rallys with it. Then he ends up in the SCCA then finally makes it in the WRC.
 
I would do some sort of expedition story on some lost gold...OR...a story that i called terrorist attack. Yes, i had thought of that name before "September 11". There are 5 stories in the normal series, where people compete in little wars in domes. I had a world cup with Palestineans (sp?) and Israelis, putting a comedic side on the terrorism. I stopped about 6 months before Sep 11, haven't done one since, because it will probably offend someone now.

That wouldn't be such a bad idea actually.

Are you sure you can fit that into 7 pages?
 
Size 24 fonts double spaced.

I stole that idea from Fredric Brown, Cobraboy. The story is Recessional I believe. He's the master of 1-2 pages short stories.
 
Well I;m still on the intro and its three pages not double spaced. I am truley the master of the stories I just can't ever come up with a good idea but when I do I can sure write the hell outta it.
 
Hmm... have it be about monkeys doing stuff. I dunno, kind of take ideas from Planet of the Apes and stuff, but instead of apes, use monkeys!
 
Well I'm sticking with the rally story. I'm already 5 pages in so its going well. The rough daft is due Monday so I better hurry up.
