Well!.!.!.what i would do, is well one, you would have to meet him somewhow, so i would say, maybe he goes to your school, or you meet him over the summer at a camp, or you are in danger and he saves you, and then you fall in love with him!.

And then, you could date him, but you have no idea he was the drunk driver, until!.!.!.maybe umm, you could read a journal of his!? or you confess a big secret to him, and then he confesses something in return, and he tells you that he killed a girl being drunk and driving, and that he has regretted it ever since!. and you comfort him!. and then that night you could have a dream about the memory of the crash, and you see his face in the car as it hits yours!. and you wake up realizing it was him who killed your sister!.

And then about revenge, maybe you do want revenge, but you are still completely inlove with him, so you don't know what to do!. And maybe you don't want to hurt him, but you want him to loose something as special to him as your sister was to you!. and then you do something, you regret and then in the end!.!.!.well you should come up with that on your own =] happy or sad ending!?!?

I hope i helped!!! It's okay if you don't use my ideas, i just wanted to help!. So good luck on the story/book!!! =]Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have the same problem with writing short stories, because I tend to make them longer than they should be!. You definitely don't want to cram it all together to where it sounds ghetto!. A short story should be around 6 to 7 pages long, maybe even longer!. I am in 10th grade and I take publications; my teacher is the best and that is where I got my info!. On how long it should be!. Just write! Relax, it's no big deal to be an over-achiever! :D

My opinion:

- He should act sweet and have alot of remorse for what he did!.
- I would go with the idea of not wanting revenge, because you fell in love with him!.


Your choice in topic is great! Just write!. Go with the flow!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have already answered your question!.

The most difficult part of writing is the initial idea and plot!.

You already have this, now put yourself into your characters mindset, dream and type!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

try animal stories!.
they are threatened by :
nature, other animals, humans,
something or someone rescues it(them)
