I am wanting to write a cool action story with like action and stuff and make it like really really cool.  And there are people in it who do like things and stuff.  At one point there is tension, like you know a problem that they have to solve, but they do and then it has a cool ending.

Im having trouble coming up with a plot, you know, I have ideas but need someone to tell me how to put them into a story and make it really really good. Can I get some help or pointers please?

You're in luck, we've got this!

First, make one or more of your protagonists an alien spider.

You should clearly co-author everyone you see online at the moment to help you with your most awesome story

Step 1 - create cool characters

Step 2 - make them do cool things

Step 3 - end the story in a cool way

Hope that's helpful :)

Boy meets girl

Boy creeps girl

Boy eats girl

Planet explodes for no apparent reason

I'd read it

It's never been done

Best to subvert expectations in such an inflated market of "cool action" stories. Have you thought of writing a story that takes the audience by surprise with an action story that's not cool? It would have very little action and stuff in it and have a not cool ending. Could be cool by not being cool. Does that make sense?
