Question: Opinions on my plot/prologue!?
Ok, as I stated in some of my other questions, I’m trying to write a story (probably just put it on fictionpress!.com) and I’m wondering what you guys think of my plot!? It’s kind of based off real life experience!.
So this is probably a bad summary, but… I dunno, it makes more sense in my mind since it’s based off real experiences!. The story is told from the point of view of this girl [Maxine- though she goes by Maxie] who’s been attending this summer camp (very un-outdoors-y) for years!. The camp lasts for 3 weeks, and literally you are living with these people day and night during that time!. It’s sleep away on the campus of Wellesley College, and she basically spends every waking moment with these people, she grows very close to them… more so then just friends she sees as school every day!. This year she’s in the oldest age group on the campus (going into her freshman year in high school) and she really feels like this year something exciting is going to happen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

first off what type of genre is this!? Because I feel if you go the romantic way it could be a very good contemporary romance!. Give Maxine more flaws!.!.!.if she's shy make her a little sub conscious about her looks and since she is shy have the guy persue her instead of the other way around!.
Maybe make him sort of an out cast in his group of friends, a loner, but he can't keep his eyes off of Maxine!. There's just something about her that draws him in!.
She's can be a little freaked out about his intense stares and uncomfortable but she's secretly drawn to him to!.!.!.
you can then center the story on their love and how they both break out of their clicks (the shy Maxine and the outcast boy) and both grow!.

But where is the plot!? There is no conflict here for Maxie to resolve - hence no plot!. This is just a character study of a particular character!. Nothing happens!. You need some kind of conflict for there to be a plot!. Right now you basically have nothing!. Pax-CWww@QuestionHome@Com
