Serious Question... I'm Working On Becoming A Writer...

In order to get paid I have to have at least 500,000 readers in a 60 day period. Hard I'll admit, but not impossible. That means I gotta make one hell of an interesting story. Problem is...I don't know where to start. I was thinking about writing a story about my life but I need 2nd opinions. What would be good topics or story to write about?

P.S: It's other characters in my story. My brain can't think of ANYTHING right now. 😤😟
i dont write for a living but i do love to be creative and push the envelope between reality and imagination. i started writing a novel and have around 27k words thats somewhat autobiographical but not 100%. for me, its real easy to write about painful memories and turning them into positive endings.

@Insomniac100 Hmmm...🤔 So I should mix some of my life with fantasy?
@PrettyGurl24 yeah that way you can be creative but at the same time use relatable themes and scenerios you know best about

First of all, don't pressure yourself. Find out what audience you want to write for, and take it from there. Knowing what genre they want to read will help gain an audience.

... you won't get 500.000 readers if you're new to writing... no one will be interested in reading someone's book about themselves if they're not famous... you will definitely not reach it if you dont even have an idea. try to aim a bit lower buddy. :/

@MartinTheFirst I'm writing for a popular app. My characters are animated & its a lot of people that use this app that I'm trying to write for.

@PrettyGurl24 I wish the best for you, but it seems a bit out there.
PrettyGurl24 · 26-30, F
@MartinTheFirst Well I'm not expecting 500,000 right away, but hopefully as time goes on & the more I write it'll get there. And thank you.

Write -anything- to get going. Just describe whatever object is to your left. Tell a story about it. Just get the words out there.

You can move to your ideas once you're 'in the zone' so to speak.

I read about a woman who was on Amazon's best seller for a week and number 6 in the country and all she got was 12 grand:(

@Goralski Why the sad face? Shoot the situation I'm in $12,000 would be amazing! Maybe its because I'm poor lol

Is it like an assignment? Or just write about anything of your choice?
PrettyGurl24 · 26-30, F
@Telosian The characters are animated & its like a decision-making game where I have to write the story, choices, the in-betweens, and ending. Its a very popular app called Episode.

That sounds fun- sky's the limit then.
what peaks your interest? Something you understand and can relate to?
Let that be the seed...

@Experienced33 Tbh I don't even know. I'm also have to keep in mind what other people might like. I already done the names, outfits, and the name of my story is Valenzcia's Spring Escapades.

Sex, drugs, alcohol, parties, you know all that stuff that people can't seem to shake

@Jackaloftheazuresand You got a point 🤔 I'm aiming for the 18+ audience.
