Hope If you find yourself wallowing in a pit of boredom and desperately, desperately wanting to write about something (but you don't know what), then here's the place to come. All you're got to do is post 'Quick! Somebody give me something to write about!' and someone else, when they see your post, will respond with 'Write a [insert genre of story here] about [insert topic(s) here]. You'll be charged with writing about whatever is suggested, no matter how bizarre. After all, you were the one who wanted to write.

Example:

Member A:
Quick! Give me something to write about!

Member B:
Write a fiction story about aliens that contact Earth.


Writers, it would be a good idea to:

1. Put specifications (if you have them) in your post if you are asking for a suggestion. Ex: "Quick! Give me something to write about--but no inappropriate topics, please."

2. Show the group what you write if you take a suggestion. We all probably want to see. :)

3. Gain inspiration from this topic.

message 24: by Charles.Galle (new)

Charles.Galle | 1 comments I only read fiction, not write, but I often write scientific works. I also have periods when I get stuck in writing and I usually just pause in writing and go to rest. I would also like to add that I use https://gradesfixer.com/citation/ieee/ in my work to properly format the citation of other authors. I am also writing some work on this site, so ask for help if you have problems with an essay or anything else.

Sheryn Pinchin (leasheryn) | 1 comments If you're looking for something to write about, why not try The Goodreads Short Story competition each month? They provide a subject to write about and you do the rest. It's stimulating and gives you the opportunity to write on different topics.

Thanks for letting us know about this competition! I am interested to try each month with my writings, though I am an IT expert at this https://www.itsupportcell.com/digital... site for helping people with digital marketing to IT related tasks, but I want to hone my writings!
