Freewriting:

One of the easiest ways to generate new short story ideas…Here’s How:

Developing Characters:

Write short character sketches about people you meet who interest you, and read them when
you need inspiration. Could you build a unique story around one or two of those characters?

Peruse the phonebook, especially the yellow pages. An interesting name or occupation can spark a story idea.

Don’t make the mistake of writing what you think other people want to hear. Dig deep and get
to know yourself, and write from your own point of view.
