Title: idea for a story but no idea how to make it.. ?
Post by: Landfill_Racoon on January 13, 2021, 03:52:14 am
hi, im looking for someone that could write a story, ive an idea but no imagination on how to write it.. of course, you will recieve all the credit for it..

my idea came from our actual partial lockdown  from 20h to 5h ( every body except essential worker( maybe a janitor ?) must be at home)
principal character name Emy, mid 30,
where: bagged in a smelly dumpster/compactor burried under several layer of bags
maybe she could be collected by the frontloader  early in the morning ?/she can have  the time of her life in it..  or she can be found by someone ( another trash lover maybe ?) or she could escape/rescued by 5 am...

who's in to write something with that ?

Emy I would write it for you if I had the attention span to it but I have problems focusing on writing so it would not be a good story

I hope someone here will take your offer and write the story for you it seems like a good idea

I might have an idea of a contortionist who repeats a number in a trash can, the opening gets blocked and she is taken away in a trash truck... It could even go as far as the shredders to order where it is a guy from the municipality who frees her.

What do you think ?

It's a good idea for a story.  How to start?  In your head, visualize it, step by step.  Then go back and write down what you saw in your mind's eye.  Don't worry about grammar, just capture the idea with some words so it doesn't slip away.  After that, you can read it over, add to it, and then start shaping it into a story.  That's your first draft.

When you're done, step away for a day or two before coming back for an edit pass.  That way you get a fresh look, at which point the first reaction is "OMG did I write that????"  You're on your way to being an editor then.  Eventually it gets enough polish to become a story.

First of all, my idea was mixed this both video :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH9Iy8OOQYc

Briefly, it was a contortionist sliding into a trash cans, a pedal-powered model, as a kind of challenge.

It's the fact that she can't get out that turns me on: to open it, you have to press the pedal, but once she's all the way in, well, she blocks the pedal.

As a rule, I fantasize a lot about their contortionist in their box, imagining situations where they get stuck inside. But I don't know in which part of the forum this kind of story would fit.
