I’ve been thinking a lot about writing a new story, but I want something fresh and unique. We all know the usual fantasy, mystery, and sci-fi themes, but what are some truly original ideas that could make a story stand out? Maybe a forgotten historical event with a twist? Or a world where emotions are currency?

I also wonder how different authors find inspiration. Do you start with a character and build around them? Or do you begin with a concept and let it evolve? I know some writers use ebook writing services to polish their ideas, but I’d love to hear how you personally develop yours.
