Hello everybody! I don't know if you remember, but a couple of months ago I said that I would write a sims-story, but then didn't because i chose to write my wannabe-novel. Well, I'm still writing, but two days ago I ran headfirst into a gigantic writer's block, and now I'm just staring at a blank page. So, I was thinking that maybe you creative people had some ideas, I would be very glad
But the story so far is 80 pages, and my plan is to write 200. Its about a girl who finds her parents murdered in their home in Pleasant Hill, Oregon. She flees to Eugene, where she is attacked by demons. Her teacher rescue her, and train her to be a Exorcist. She finds out that angels killed her parents, and she's a Nephilim (Half angel half human), and the angels sees her like a monster, to be slaughtered, because gods powers shouldn't be mixed with human blood. And just for the record, I'm not Christian, (In fact I'm Wiccan) I just think Angelology and Demonlology (not sure its called that oO) is very fascinating. The main plot in the story, is that Audrey (the Nephilim) release the Devil from hell, by accident of course. And then she has to catch him again. But now I'm stuck, in a little mini story. Audrey and the Exorcist teacher is in Phoenix, to help the police catch a demon murdering people (or the police don't know its a demon of course) and the theme is like ... like a crime tv-show. And even though I've seen a billion crime shows I just CAN'T write anything that doesn't sound like it was written by a five year old (like this, but I'm too tired to go over it again and check for grammar errors)
So if anyone got any ideas? Not only to this chapter, but the whole story. And does the whole plot sound like garbage? Let me hear what you think, creative people!
And again, sorry about the brain dead grammar error!

You mean ideas on how to beat writer's block, right? Do something else. Read a book, do the dishes. Try writing different scenes, don't just write from page 1 to page 200.
Also, you sound very young. Looking at your age, you're the same age as my niece. ^^ I'd suggest that you shouldn't go online fishing for ideas. You have to come up with ideas your own. We can't come up with ideas for you. It's all part of the writing process.
At this stage in your life, just have fun. Write write write. Who cares if it sounds like garbage. Practice makes perfect. So work your imagination and write whatever you want.

We've got plenty of little theme prompts and such in the Exercises thread if you want to write something different...that's how I do things. I have to be working on several stories that way I don't get writers block. And, I suggest if you do write something, make sure that you write something in a whole different genre than you are now.
Hope that we are helpful.
