Anyone in need of more sci-fi ideas?

A scientist discovers he can slow down time in a localized area. He then discovers he can move forward in time but he can never go back at all. He uses the “time-bubble” to try and be immortal. Inside the “time-bubble”, one week goes by as one month goes by outside. The protagonist soon finds a world in the very distant future where Earth is has been taken over by multiple fascist regimes. Despite this, he builds a new life for himself. Eventually, things begin to go wrong. The protagonist struggles to build a new “time-bubble” that he believes may get him back to the “starting point.” He knows time is money, but admits that if he is not successful, he will acknowledge the facts that even though he has seen more than most people, he never really lived at all.

A young woman named Alex receives messages from a group of scientists looking for people to conduct experiments on. Alex dismisses the messages as fake because she believes her path of self-destruction will continue. Alex agrees one day to undergo an experiment in which she is bitten by a radioactive gorilla. Alex develops the ability to predict natural disasters before they actually happen.

A group of robots and a group of alien establish a shared base on Mars. Unable to communicate with both groups, astronauts are sent to deal with both groups. Before they destroy, they discover what both groups are truly doing together: both groups are creating drug cartels.

After members of a futuristic cult succeed in escaping the cult, they become stranded on a zero-gravity planet. The only way they can escape the planet is to start their own cult using members from similar cults that arrive in zero-gravity.

I am trying to get back to writing after 10 years. I don't know where to begin, however.

I am - still - trying to build up the courage to try writing a novel.

I have an entire bookshelf with "how-to-write" books from various authors, and stacks of classical Sci-Fi novels for inspiration I have yet to read...

But so far, all I have written is legislation and management memos.... which is good bedtime reading if you suffer from severe insomnia, and sleeping pills aren't doing it for you any more...

I have seen a thing in writing which has a similar thing in model railroads - people get disappointed and frustrated, assuming they ever got past the initial intimidation, because they can't make a massive museum quality railway layout from scratch, that looks like those in the big glossy magazine articles, in one afternoon.

Hi, I'm brand new and I am writing a couple sci-fi trilogies in the same universe that I'm creating. One is far in the past and the other is in the future. The one in the past is a mythology survival political drama and the one in the future is about space pirates and magic.

I'm where I'm always at: Writing or soon to be writing. But its "me" writing, not comodity writing.

My writing began very early by an almost accident when someone told me: "If you can't talk, you'd best write or you'll rot!"

So I wrote (kid level first rough printing). Now we three of us write, to be and see. Nothing else "is" or needs to be.

There's "me" that's done to, for, by or with. There's "I" that does, sees, tries and is. And there's "myself" that elusively sits betwixt and between the other two to gently sternly pull the strings so we all well and rightly do "become".

It's always true by hand in paints, pens or pencil. And always dies a sad death if faked in digi-bits and bytes.

I love writing. I got much better at it in college. I taught it to kids in grades 4-6, and I enjoyed that. I miss my classroom. I've thought about writing a book about my own life, I've tried, actually.

I took journalism classes in college, and I was an editor on my high school newspaper.
