Story Ideas

Story Idea:
He’s leaving -- without goodbye, since he doesn’t notice her. She runs after him and catches up to him while he’s waiting at the elevator. He’s listening to headphones and has his eyes closed in enjoyment. She sneaks up and plants a big kiss right on his mouth, vowing to keep kissing him until she feels a reaction. His lips remain motionless, face expressionless until a look of total abject horror comes over his face.
She wakes up, suddenly afraid -- once again -- of his rejection should she say anything about her love for him. She doesn’t even know if he has a girlfriend or a spouse. If he’s married and she comes on to him and he responds positively, would she really want a man who is unfaithful to his wife?


Story Idea
Write a “You Choose” story and let the reader make the plot decisions (like those books for tweens).
Story
A or B
1 or 2 3 or 4
etc.


Story Idea
The journey is the destination.
A long, strange trip
The last mile
distance race
competition
gaining ground
get off the ground
squabbles between factions
the powers that be
the road less traveled
finances are a roadblock
stay in the game
reasonable profitability
variety of problems
bad weather
crashes and burns
the shortest distance between two points
