How about something interesting that has happened in your past? Maybe twist a few parts to make it a bit more exciting.

"IF I WERE TO CREATE A REAL LIFE BOOK, WHAT WOULD IT BE ON?"

It'd probably be on my desk unopened since i dont like reading at all.

being serious though, what are your main interests? just an idea for a random book is quite a range you can choose from. Do you want it to be a fantasy, realism, special subjects like racism, sexism, bullying, etc. is the book meant for children or for grown-ups? should it be just fun to read or have a meaning behind it?

@skyerzz I am thinking of real life matters since they are a bit easier to create........

 

[skyerzz]

real life matters. which ara?

 

[nahfackler]

@skyerzz for an example Hunger, homelessness, poverty, politics, medical issues, etc

Books vs Great Literature 101: Great Literature incorporates a number of different themes, has a variety of motifs, symbolism, and the like, whereas a book is just something to keep you entertained usually.

My suggestion? Write about the human condition. Homer's Illiad does a great job portraying different aspects of human nature. Something like that would be a good place to start.

I used to love reading...then I got to the part of school where they constantly want you to write papers about the book you are forced to read for the class...yea...

Personally, if I were writing a book, it would probably be a "field guide" style of a sub-culture that is either fairly unknown or tends to have an unwarranted negative view towards it.

Fall of Humanity which will ultimately lead to our own destruction.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you in need to write a book? In my opinion, books, articles, games, and even maps in Minecraft aren't things you can just decide to write without having an idea of what you're going to write about. You get an idea, you think it through, then start writing. Asking people to give you an idea is silly, because no matter how good of an idea it is, it's not your idea meaning you'll have difficulty shaping it unlike the person who suggested it. Instead of asking for ideas, I think you should wait for inspiration.
Personally, I get ideas for everything by just sitting in a normal room. I get map ideas for zero when sitting in biology or physics class, get story ideas from my own personal experiences and re-imaginations of things I've seen, get Minecraft skin ideas whilst looking at LEGO figures and I even get ideas on what to code when looking at the ceiling.
I did not expect this to be that long. sorry.
tl;dr Asking for ideas is alright, but waiting and getting your own idea is much better

@Zatharel I'm asking people for their opinions cause I usually come up blank when I wanna write, I like to bounce ideas around before choosing an Idea.........

I don't think you even read what I said. You aren't going to get an idea if you're forcing yourself to think of one. You can't just say "I want to get an idea now" and then get an idea.

Write a post-apocalyptic book, I'll read it if you do.

Agreeing with Zath here. Just going out and saying "I want to write a book so give me ideas" isn't the best choice. Waiting for an inspiration to come, hopefully something that actually interests you, is the better option because then you would be more passionate about the idea and writing about it would be much easier. Good authors don't sit themselves down and force themselves to write. If you take your time and wait for your own ideas, the whole experience will be much more satisfying to both author and reader.

@Crafter maybe you are right, But here's the thing, I'm the type of person who can't write without having a set subject (kinda my English teacher's practice) I will close the thread tonight and maybe I will get back to my writing and maybe finish my current book......But thanks for the voices...

Tonight, Could an Admin/mod Close this thread Please?
