Creative writing story – having trouble generating ideas. Pls read details & thank you for your time!?

I am supposed to write a story about a time when someone did something he or she was not supposed to do.

What types of situations could I possibly write about?

Thanks for the ideas…I have major writers block.

🙂

Alone within me
The obvious thing for me would be to write about a child who did something (like being told no candy before dinner and ate some cookies or m&m’s or something, or was told they couldn’t have a pet and brought home a frog and tried to hide it in thier room, and so on).

Otherwise you could write about somebody who commited a crime (most people would agree they no better than to steal, but people still do it). You could also write about somebody telling a lie, or “crying wolf”.

Lots of things you could write about.

There are many directions you could take this. Do you want the story to be funny or serious, or to try and show a point (why you shouldn’t do the thing)?

Hmmmm….How about something YOU did that you weren’t supposed to do? I remember when I was little, a neighbor kid was running away, so I figured I’d go to keep her company. We got pretty far in the neighborhood, especially for 5-year-olds, but not far. Her mom, who later died of some type of cancer, and mine had to search for us.

How about claiming some work is yours when it wasn’t and you won an award with it?

I was a little older when we went to the Church carnival and a local TV star was there and was giving out an album that I wanted to those who’s birthday was that day. I was separated from my family in the crowd and my birthday was later in the summer than this, but I decided it was close enough, and I went up on stage with the others. A neighbor was in the crowd and said she didn’t know it was my birthday and I shook my head “yes” and I got the album but was forced to give it back, even though they guy who gave it to us said it was OK. It wasn’t to my parents.

I’m not sure if you’re meaning yourself, or a hypothetical person. usually a story like this involves a moral dilemma followed by the lesson learned. you are obviously not after the extreme. i would go for the tangled web of lies approach…stealing, lying, guilty conscience…they all seem to ruin lives, which, of course, makes for a great story.
