New Story from An Old Story

 

 

Here is a way to get yourself going if you are experiencing writers block.  Try to make a new story from an old story.Start with a familiar story and then do one or more of the following:

• Change the setting, a new place or a new time
• Modify one or more of the characters, give them a tag such as a cute habit or phrase
• Modify the story problem
• Tell the story from the antagonists point of view
• Tell the story from the point of view of a minor character

 

Have fun with your new story!  It is OK to change things to create a new story of your own.  Use your story wisdom to know what to keep and what to change.
