So i'm a writer. I write anything from fan-fiction to Realistic Fiction. I want to start writing a new novel, but I don't have any Idea about what I should write about... Do you guys have any Idea's???

At the present time, I've got no ideas for you, sorry.
But what I usually do when I want to write something is a kind of brainstorm; I'll try and figure out what kind of archetypes I want to use, what the MC will be like, what kind of situation does the MC start in, the backgrounds of the characters, etc.

By doing that, I usually end up with a few ideas and then I pick the one I like and "polish" them. You can try and see if this helps, and good luck with your novel :)

Idea: A tale about a prehistoric man who goes on a journey around a large valley, naming things that don't have names (darkness, light, sun, stars, etc.). He gets a large tribe following him over time, everyone revering him as a wise elder who knows much. At the end of the journey, a man asks his name. He realizes he never named himself and was always just known as "the one who calls names" or "caller", so everyone decides to start calling him "God." The tribe then names itself the Yehudim, making the plot twist that God was just a guy who created names for things across a seven day journey, or whatever.

I'd buy it. Just credit the Dollars and "Nonymous." If you really start doing it, I'm happy to give more ideas over e-mail.
