Question:

I'm trying to work on a story (not sure of the length yet) about a boy-somewhere between 11 and 13-that either lives in the country, moves to the country, or visits relatives in the country!. I'm having trouble coming up with a good plot line(s), surrounding this situation!.

I have considered the possibility of the boy and his mother (family) running a country inn; or having a Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn feel to it (but not duplicating either book); or the boy's family restoring a farm, that belonged to his grandparents; etc!.

If anyone has any other possible ideas for a storyline, as well as any other elements that I might want to consider having in my story, please list them!.

Thank you!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

An author has to come up with their own material, otherwise things just dont work, but if u want some quick ideas to brainstorm off of, here u go:

- hunting for treasure
- to escape from someone who means them harm (an abusive father!?)
- to discover the secrets of his family

there u go!. Good luck with it! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
