Ideas for fiction

1.  I could write about singing at my cousins funeral.  I feel like I could really communicate the feelings of loss and despair through my writing.  I also can paint a vivid picture about how the day looked, felt and  even smelled to me.  This is one of the biggest and most life changing things I have ever dealt with in my life, so I feel like it would be a good topic.

2.  I could write about when I first sang in a competition and won.  This was one of the coolest moments in my life to date so I can really remember it well.  I can remember exactly what the MC was wearing and the energy that was in the room when I got up to perform.  I would describe not only the feelings of when they announced me as the winner but the feeling of being on stage singing as well.
3.  Another option to write about would be about going to the swap meets with my Grandaddy.  I still go all the time with him so being able to bring out rich detail would not be hard. I could really help the reader see and hear all that goes on.  I could also show the feelings of contentment and joy I get out of evert trip we take there.

4. My final option would be to tell about the time I went exploring with my cousin.  We decided to run off one day and go exploring on the land that our family always went hunting on and we had so much fun!  Not only did we find alot of stuff we shared alot of secrets and things that helped make us closer.   It is one of the last memories I have with him so it is indeed a string one that would be good to write about.

  1. Rachel, I really like the last idea. My brother and I had adventures like that all the time when we were little, and even still when I get the chance, I love to pull out the adventurer within. I think you could take this a lot of ways. It could be introspective and proverbial, or you could add some wit and humor and make it really cute. You could even do both. I think this idea has a lot of potential! Great ideas overall!
