Story Idea-1

I always thought I’d be great at choosing topics and characters for stories but now that I have to actually do it, not so much.

My first story idea is about an 8 yr. old girl that has lived in foster care homes and with babysitters for much of her life. The story will be about the last place she lives before finally going to live with her Mother and new step-Father.

My character will have to adapt to yet another unfamiliar “family” that is not her own. She will struggle with understanding why she doesn’t have her own home. She will also have to explore her feelings when she does.

There will be some kind of a resolution when she moves in with her Mom and new step-Father but what will that be? I think that will be one of the driving forces of the story, Curiosity.

I think this story will hold the readers interest by developing interesting characters that have a past that shape who they are as well as how they react to new situations.

Love this - I came up with all kinds of questions I was asking myself about this little girl and her life. You have me hooked already. On a side note, I can completely relate to struggling coming up with an idea; you're not alone.
