In fiction writing the most important thing with writing is to write what you know. Draw your stories and characters from the experiences and people you have known and your writing is guarenteed to be rich, unique, and engaging. Placing these stories and characters in different settings and genres is just the icing on the cake . . . if the basic plot and dramatic devices are planned out they can be adapted to any time or place.

If you have a passion for history you may want to research a time and place and insert your characters into the scene, whether it be the american civil war, the french revolution, restoration in england, or the building of the great wall of china. Romances, treachary, adversity, death and self-discovery happen to every individual in every walk of life. Putting a human face on a period of history will produce a story everyone can relate to and learn from.

If you have a passion for science then the future has no bounds. The sci-fi genre is incredibly diverse and often based on tangible ideas extrapolated out into the fantastic. A story which can defy time and space can allow a writer to explain mathematical or philosophical theories and fascinate their reader with the marvels of invention.

Decide if you want to write in first person where the story is told subjectively from the point of view of one character, or in third person where the story is narrated objectively explaining the actions of many characters as an omnipotent observer . . . and let your imagination do the rest!
