Iām working on one of my other stories and im thinking of changing like a major plot point back to how I originally thought of it. I havenāt really written anything yet cuz itās all in my head.
Oooooh⦠may I ask why youāre thinking this?
Well basically I really love the idea of curses and I wanted to make a storyline where the MC is a part of this magical family and they have these super cool abilities but then sheās the odd one out because sheās cursed (lol thought of this story long before Encanto) my original idea was that it turns out she was actually never cursed in the first place.
Then I wanted to actually make her cursed but the curse didnāt really make sense. I needed some way for her to leave home and work for the LI, so I thought āwhat if sheās this time shifter whoās cursed to randomly travel to different dimensionsā but then that seemed like too much and I thought Iād have some major plot holes and might have to include the whole āit was all a dreamā thing and I didnāt want to do that.
So then I was like: what if sheās cursed so that everyone will forget about her? Until she meets like true love at least. But then I didnāt want to go heavy on the ātrue loveā trope and although Iām still leaning towards this I donāt think it would work. Like, it works for her family to forget about her but like itād be weird to have others in that world do so.
So now Iām back at square 1 with them thinking sheās cursed, but sheās not. But Iām still trying to decide how she gets to the LI because I want her to do that when sheās young, but her family isnāt exactly evil I want to make them nice. So Iām still stuck, essentially.
As you should!
What?
Itās good youāre not using it!
Ooooooooh⦠Yeah, got it now.
Howās your story going?
Iām on episode 8. Stuck on a sceneā¦
Iām writing an enemies to lovers romcom and the MC and LI were rivals in high school, but I canāt for the life of me figure out why
Whatās the scene?
What are their personalities?
I just introduced two new characters- Iāll pm you
Theyāre both extremely competitive. The MC is a perfectionist and a little judgmental, and the LI has an ego and is kind of bossy.
Well, maybe both competing for the same thing. Like a sporting competition or something, or perhaps both aiming for a prize trip to somewhere, or just vying for the same teacherās attention.
Iāve got some ideas that I would love to write into full stories, but I have no idea how to make them happen.
I know who my main characters are, the general premise, and where I want it to end, but I never know what the middle should be.
Itās so frustrating which makes it harder to take the idea beyond just being some notes from as I had the idea in the first placeā¦
