Can someone give me a story idea?
I’m going to use my Y! 360 blog as a place for me to put a story I’m planning on writing. I will break it up into segments or "episodes". I need ideas and page hits. If I don’t get 50 page hits by the end of this week I might decide to kill the idea. Please help me with detailed story lines in this scenario:
- Modern Day
-Urban setting (Nothing rural or farmlike)
-Action Setup
If you don’t have an idea please just visit my Y!360 profile so I can get hits and while you are there maybe you could comment.
Thanks Y! Answers Community.
There is a link to this question in the "blast" of my Y!360 page which you can easily access through my Y!Answers profile. Please, I really need help with this, it is a big project.
It doesn’t have to be completley in the city. I just want a lot of it to be based in the city. Maybe something about con-artists. Hmmm… Thank you for the ideas you guys. I still need more though.
I like thesqyd’s idea about choosing between work and friends. But, can anyone expand on this a little more for me. Details, details, details.
It seems odd to me that you just want to write a story without knowing what you want to write about. If you want to write, write what you want. If you don’t have an angle to write about, try something else, man. My idea for a story may not be worth writing about to you, and visa versa.
Write what you know and what interests you.

Perhaps this would make a good story: A surprise wedding in modern day.

Action in an urban setting is mostly centered on criminal activity. Either in the solving of or committing of, Basically life in the city is very dull and lacks action, lots of drama maybe, but not much action. You could try sports of some nature, but again that’s not thriller action.

Hmmm. How about this: the main character, a police officer in Chicago, must choose between friends or work as he discovers that his closest friends are the criminals in a murder case.
Details? I dunno, maybe he dies at the end cuz his friends kill him as he tries to tell them to stop murdering?
