Hey! I have actual free time today and tomorrow XD so whenever is great! I’d love to whatever you’ve got. 🙂
To “hear” XD don’t know what was going through my head there 🤣
@kyronthearcanin
Yeah!! Thanks ❤️
So, my idea was kind of that Ania (yeah I’m calling her that now xD) gets asked by her coworker to join them, and they’re the ones who are pulling off some sort of heist. I’m assuming right now that they’re trying to kill a government leader, but I could change it later, depending on how it goes 😉 She at first tells him no, but then he’s probably going to offer her money. So she agrees to go undercover and let the rebels into the building. But after they’re in and the plan works, the rebels leave without her.
Soo then my idea was kind of that she’s got some sort of equipment that makes her seem guilty, and then a radio, and when she calls to tell him to come back for her, he tells her to turn herself in and threatens her brother.
So then I’m assuming she does that, and thenn that’s where I’m not so sure. I would probably have like 20 pages or so… and I don’t know what should happen next. Some of my ideas were that either a young enforcer could help her escape, or she gets away on her own, and has to be on the run for the rest of it … but idk. And then for the character arc, I kind of need her to learn to trust others, that she doesn’t have to do it all alone, and that she’s forgiven. But idk how to do that 😂😂
So if you have any ideas I would love to hear them! Sorry it’s late, otherwise I would maybe rant some more.
Also, I just wanted to let you know (I just told smiley, so maybe you’ve already seen) but I might be a little slower around here for a while, we’re going to start packing soon and just being busier in general, and I think I’ve been a little obsessed with KP lately 😅
Plus I’ve spent a lot of time on here when I could have been writing 🫤
But I really love talking to all you guys and you’re all so amazing!! I will definitely still be around, I just will probably be a little slower lol
Okay this actually sounds really cool! 😁 I love brainstormin XD.
Offering money would be along the right lines for motivation, since she’s taking care of Luca. Depending on how closely she knows the coworker, there are a few different ways you could take this. If they’ve never talked, and he seems nice, she could not exactly trust him, but at least take the risk. If she already doesn’t trust him at all, he would have to have a pretty good incentive. But if she knows him and trusts him… Then it could definitely play into what she decides. She could refuse at first purely out of fear of the risk, then he could offer her money and beg her, something like that. Just depends on who this coworker is.
Threatening her brother, it could either be an empty threat, or he knows where her brother is, or he literally has kept her brother captive, depending.
Okay, so she turns herself in, then somehow escapes. For getting her to trust others there are a few different things I can think of. For one, she could get hurt, and someone could help her, and eventually they would get her trust that way. Two, if someone did help her escape, maybe that person or someone else agrees to help save her brother (Idk if you were planning on having the coworker return him once the job is done, but just an idea). Three, someone could give her a place to stay so that she doesn’t have to be on the run, at least until that place is found out. With any of those, if she doesn’t trust or even does the person wrong, there could be an arc back towards forgiveness once she realizes that they really were on her side, and that she doesn’t really want to be alone. Maybe a couple of those ideas happen, and one of them could sacrifice themselves for her. Then she realizes that she needs to trust, etc. She could then be closer with the other someone who helped her, and he/she could reassure her that she’s forgiven.
I don’t know if this works with what you’ve got in your head, but that’s what came to my mind.
Also, I totally get it! I’m getting busier with highschool and YWW, so that’s understandable. I generally find a small time in the morning and the late afternoon/evening to get back to people, when I can.
Also, jsyk, I will be gone June 4-10th at an Oilbelt camp, so I won’t be on for that time. 😉
Hope this helped! ❤️❤️
@kyronthearcanin
Thanks!! 😁 I really appreciate you taking the time to write all that out too ❤️❤️
Yeah, so I was thinking she’ll probably know him, but not super well. So at first she’s like, of course not! But then, exactly! she needs money for her and her brother, and she agrees to help them.
Then I was kind of just thinking that either her brother would be with the rebel group, or he stayed behind and the guy knows where he is. I don’t think anything would actually happen to him, I just kind of wanted to use this as motivation.
I actually love all those ideas!! Ahh, it’s so hard xD
Yeah, I was kind of thinking that in her position, she’d just have to sort of relax and let others help her, even though she could get hurt. For forgiveness, I was kind of thinking more like an arc back to God..? Her parents taught her about God, but I guess she’s a little mad at him for how things ended up, and what she has to do to survive, so she feels like she can’t turn to him now that she’s stolen and cheated others. But I wanted her to learn over the story that He still wants her, even though she’s sinned. Sorry if that was a little vague 😉
Ikr!! Ok, I gotcha!! Have fun at camp then 🙂 And thanks so much again!!
Also, one of the other things I was unsure about is the length? I really wanted to finish an entire novel, and I was set on this idea, but I feel like if I don’t have an ending I’m excited for I’ll just… stop xD
So I was wondering if maybe I should just try to aim for a novella or short story type thing? You had a lot of great ideas for the rest of the book, but I guess I just feel unsure. And my inspiration kind of peaked for the first few chapters xD
So if you have any thoughts on that, I would love to hear them too!!
I like the idea! Do you have any specific questions on the arc back to God?
As for the length, I’d say this idea is a little too much for a short story, though it probably could be pulled off. I’d say the best idea would be, if you are looking for an option besides a novel, a novella. It would be a great theme and arc for that length.
Definitely figuring out the ending would help with inspiration, but idk if you have other ideas for that?? I guess I just don’t know enough about the arc and the characters to figure out a good ending, but I’d love to help in any way I can until we get things figured out. 🙂
Yeah, I was thinking more of either a novel/novella too! Yeah I get it, sorry if its a little confusing xD Basically, I’m just struggling to figure out the plot and I feel a little overwhelmed in all the ways it could go .. I guess I could just start and see where it takes me, but like I said I feel like I’ll be more likely to finish if I have an idea for the ending. And then I was thinking I could do the whole story about the heist/plot to kill the governor, but idk …
I really appreciate all your help girl!! I hope you don’t feel like you have to help or anything, but just know that it’s really helped me to talk to you about stuff 😉
So you already have the thematic idea for an ending… Basically her turning back to God and trusting again. The only thing you really need is the real story ending, and how to weave the theme in with that. Maybe there’s a plot twist. The governor paid the men to frame his death so that he could get out of some kind of bad situation. Or maybe Ania is related to someone when she thought she didn’t have any relatives left, etc. Like you said, the whole story could revolve around the plot as well.
Thanks!! I’m so glad I can help you! 🙂And don’t worry about it at all, I love helping you with this.
Yep, exactly!! I just don’t really know how I want the story to go, and what would be the most interesting plot.
I’m not even sure I want to write about an assassination XD So I might change it to some sort of heist, or maybe she agrees to help the assassins and then changes her mind later 😂 I do like the characters a lot though, and the arcs. Just not exactly sure about the plot yet, but hopefully I’ll figure it out 😉
Aw of course!! Thanks ❤️❤️
Ikr? I have a hard time deciding between the multiple paths a story could take… especially with Healer. That’s why it’s taking so long to get a chapter finished 😅.
At the moment I’m trying to switch over to being a plotter instead of a pantser, so I know what I’m getting myself into. The characters, like in yours, are generally the same- Dune, Sorren, Rina, Quelin, etc. But the plot changes. I ended up randomly having the idea for a prophecy in Healer, then thought about how it wasn’t possible, then I realized it WAS possible… So, yeah. Hopefully you’ll like chapter 9 when I get it out 😉❤️❤️
Yesss I can’t wait!! xD I’m about to do some kind of brainstorming session, but right now honestly I have no idea what I’m doing with plot … I really wanted to just start something by Thursday, but I don’t know if it’s going to work 😅 I’ll update you later if I decide on something though!!
