1. Music. Find the right song that fits the mood your attempting to write.

2. Give every player a piece of paper and something to write with. Everyone is to write a single
sentence that can say or be about anything. Once everyone has a single sentence written down,
pass your paper to the person on your right and do step two. 2. Draw a picture that shows what
you get from the original sentence. Then fold the paper so that only the picture you drew is
visible and pass the paper to the next person. Go through this process until everyone's paper's are
full and then read the story in which you get . It if exciting and fun for all who play.

3. One person chooses a single sentence or saying. Take that saying and make a scenario for what happens. Example: "YOU KILLED HIM!" Now take that line and describe who killed who and who is accusing. What is happening?

4. Sit in a room full of various objects (bedrooms are good) Each player is to close their eye's and point to any object in the room. Keep your fingers pointing and then open your eye's. Whatever
objects are being pointed at must be written down. Then each player must write a short story including each object that was pointed at.

5. Doodle & free writing. Grab a pen and paper and doodle. Free writing is like doodling, only with words.

6.Snacking.

7. Searching Youtube. Put random things into the search. It helps me get great idea's.
*+
8. Picture Search. Go to your favorite web searching site (Yahoo, Google. . . etc) and look up
different things in the pictures. I like to look up Castles and Dragons and Flowers. . . etc.
Whatever your into works.

9. Do crazy things like look up "Elven Names." You would be surprised at how many things come up. Anything like that and you can get crazy with the book ideas that come flooding into your mind.
*+
10. Look up the meanings and origins of the names for your characters. (Unless you created the name) I love doing this because I get crazy ideas and I know what kinda theme would really make sense for the name. P.S you can look up names that you made up. Maybe something will come up. . . maybe you will find out that you didn't actually create the name after all.

11. Go to your local Library. Maybe go to your genre flip through some books, look at some things in them. Go to another genre and maybe look for name ideas!
*+
12. Create a random world of 'Ifs' and 'Whens'.
*+
13. Visit your local Bookstore. Talk to people there about different books. Open up your mind to all the words around you! Maybe even buy a book!
*+
14. Work on the history of you characters! When were they born? What was their childhood like? What did they do for fun?
*+
15. Write whatever is on your mind. If you are having a bad day and you can't stop thinking about work or friends or family so on. . write it down. Use your journal and just write away everything you feel. If your mind is clouded with other things than your book won't come easily. So un-cloud your mind!
*+
16. Go to a writers Conference. Its what I had to do to get rid of my writers block! :D
*+
17. Pick the soundtrack from a favorite movie or tv show. Pick your favorite song. Now. . .picture your characters with that background music. . . write a scene with your characters that fits the music from the movie.
*+
18. Go through other blogs. Look at what your fellow writers are doing!
*+
19. Pick your favorite book! Now use that story line but change it to what you think it should have been! Add things, take things out, change characters! Make the story your own! And to really mix things up, change the storyline but keep all the characters the same!
