Writing is one of the best things in the entire world, especially when you have a good idea. The words can just flow so easily, and it's like characters are taking control over your fingers. Though, writing can be extremely difficult if you haven't done it in awhile, and even more difficult when you don't have an idea. So here are 8 story starters, each in a different style, so that you don't have to go through the difficulty of writer's block.
