Tutorial: Creative Writing: How to Get Inspiration

How to get inspiration

By using a simple line that someone tells you, you can instantly have a great idea that leads to an entire story.

Use newspaper article headlines as inspiration

“model spotted near death scene”

  • What was she doing there?
  • Did she/he have something involved with the murder?
  • Who was murdered?
  • How were they murdered?
  • What location – shopping mall???

“man beaten to death by crowd”

  • Why was he killed?
  • Who killed him?
