If you’re having trouble coming up with ideas for a story, try setting your story in a different time and/or place, or consider writing about a subject you’re unfamiliar with. You can also come up with ideas by brainstorming or you can use any of the following techniques to generate ideas:
- Look at your favorite movie or television show and think about what you like about it.
- Read newspapers, magazines, and books.
- Go out and observe people and situations around you. This can be anything from people’s daily routines to the guy you see at the coffee shop every morning.
- Ask open-ended questions and listen to the answers.
- Take note of things that make you laugh or cry.
- Ask yourself, “If this were the last day of my life, what would I do?”
- Go to a coffee shop.

Dialogue is an important tool for authors to create an in-depth picture of the characters of a story. The character’s voice and personality can be revealed through the words spoken by the characters and their gestures.
The best way to understand this concept is to read a good book with excellent dialogue. You will see how the author creates characters and gives them the life that makes them unique. In my opinion, the best example of this is “A Prayer For Owen Meany” by John Irving. In this novel, the main character is a boy who has been adopted. His voice and his behavior are represented by the narrator.
This narration is written through the voice of the protagonist, Owen. By listening to Owen’s narration, we can observe the world around him and what he thinks about his family and his future. In addition to the narration, dialogue also plays an important role in characterization. Dialogue is often used in the description of the characters. It can show us their thoughts and emotions. We can see that the narrator is a teenager who is trying to understand what happens around him. The reader can feel the same feelings as the narrator.
