When it comes time to get a story together for a new book, writers tend to think about where they can go to get a story line or who they can speak to to get info about what to write about. Some things to consider when forming a storyline are:
1. TV-The TV can always help with storylines. Drama surrounds the shows we watch everyday so use the TV as a resource.
2. Use your life as a stepping stone. You don't have to go into details about what you've been through but some things in your life can help get an idea.
3. Use those around you. Talk to people around you. You can particularly speak to people that are in a professional field that can help your book. You never know what you can get out of someone to help your book. *If you use other's people's life stories, be sure you get there consent.
4. Browse the internet.
5. Go to a public place and observe the atmosphere.
Just a short list to get your juices flowing!
