Plot for a good book?

Set yourself a time limit of five minutes. In that rime, reel off everything you can possibly think of that you like - anything from places, dreams you've had that were vivid and interesting, legends, myths, ghost stories, TV shows/movies, objects from a TV shows/movies ... anything whatsoever. Do another timer for emotions you have that you can work off.

Do the same for a character. Write down their name, personality, where they come from, what they like, what their ambitions are. Do this as many times as you want for as many characters as you want.

Put the two together and see how your character will fit into your story. Asking people to hand you ideas isn't always the best -- you have 0 passion in something someone else has thought up.

If you were a real writer, you should think of your own plot, your own characters, your own everything. You can't just pick it up from somebody else because that's called lack of originality. And it might not come out as good as you expected. You should come up with your own ideas, and that's how you'll produce your best work. I know this was kinda not what you were looking for, but if you want to be a writer, this has to be said.

If you aren't creative enough to come up with your own plots, then I'm sorry...but you really shouldn't be a writer.(: <3

Lots of people "think about writing a book". The ones who succeed are the ones who sit down and think MORE and HARDER about what they actually want to write.

If you're not capable of doing this, you're not capable of being a writer. Don't waste your time; take up something else instead.

You're "thinking of writing a book"?

If you really wanted to write, the urge would be driving you mad and you wouldn't be asking people to think for you.

go do something else

Record yourself while exploring possiblities as suggested.
