Howdy! If you’re like me you start characters and backstories but fizzle out on plot lines and the actual story adventure you want them to have. I have a whole file full of them that, chances are, I’m never gonna revisit, but I feel bad just throwing these characters away. So here’s my “Yard Sale.” Feel free to take any character/backstory you want and make them your own. 🙂
Also, if you have a character or backstory you really like, but don’t have a story for, feel free to add ’em on here!
July 20, 2023 at 4:40 pm #151691Storylines:
- A newly transferred tiger escapes the zoo and a team of zookeepers has to work quickly to keep the community and animal safe
- An old used coat from an antique store sends the buyer off to solve a mystery by what he finds in the pocket. But was it an accident that it was him who bought it? Or is there a deeper connection than he first realizes?
Titles:
- 3 part series, patriotic themed: In the Red, White Lies, and Out of the Blue
July 20, 2023 at 4:41 pm #151692Storyline:
- A young girl having to spend Thanksgiving in a homeless shelter, storms out to the old train car outside to brood, only to find herself taken back in time to the late 1800s, an clickety-clacking orphan train, and a young orphan named Bertha about to get off at a little Midwestern town.

Heyyy! I’m adding some of mine!
Storyline
- A teenage girl discovers a dark secret about her family history. Her parents aren’t as normal as she once thought-they’re CIA agents. They’ve been captured by a ruthless gang called the Red Razors, armed with dangerous mind reading technology and high tech weapons. At first, she’s helpless. But then she realizes that maybe her mind is more powerful than she realized. She alone can save her parents, she alone can save the world.

Oops… said I’d find some and then forgot lol. Well, here ya go… I have a plot idea that I might not ever get to, so feel free to use them if they strike your interest.
– A young Christian journalist takes a job with a news outlet, but quickly discovers it isn’t all she dreams. She begins to notice that lies and fabricated stories are being reported, and when she tries to report the truth, she gets death threats and mysterious notes, emails, and texts. She’s put in the position of choosing between risking her life and standing for truth, or staying silent and living with a guilty conscience knowing she could have exposed the corruption. The main character for this plot could be a guy, too, if you so choose.
That’s the best I could find for now… the rest of my ideas were fragmented notes with no solid basis.
