Question: Please help me to make a decision for my story!? What do you think of my idea!?
I have this idea for writing a story the only trouble is that I am stuck at one point cause I can't decide why or what happens then!.
She is a evil girl (17yrs) living ina town that no one knows about and whenever it happens that someone starts digging about it, the people from that town have to go and stop them!. This world is full of people with extra powers!. And I am thinking also about a Game that is to play for life of contestants and a reward (what will that be I have no idea)!. Her mother is also evil (very much) and the people who live in the town are kind of as well and they all are a elite army, that no one knows about!. They have their people around the world and so at the beginning of the story a messenger comes and no one usually comes unless it it urgent in some way!.
So here is the problem, I want the girl to leave somewhere but the question is why would she leave!? Did she got in the fight with her mother or she has to stop someone from revealing them or she has to be a safeguard to someone in the Game or she has to go on a mysterious mission (on which she would have to die but some circumstances let her live and she comes back to a war and revealed city!?) And what does messenger brings news about!?
Thanks!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
gosh, where to begin!. You could write a billion different things I guess!. Is this the main character of your book though!? Do consider before you write anymore that the reader should at least be able to empathise with the main character a little or no one will want to read your book!. The main character can still be evil, but you've got to give her something the reader can sympathise with her about!.
Maybe she got pregnant and had to leave for a while!?
Fell in love!? and found outn that person was in danger
Or she has some secret that needs protecting
If she has an unknown father, maybe she discovered something about him and is following his trail!?
If she's evil, maybe she hears of some magic potion that'll give her something she really wants (i!.e!. eternal beauty/youth, love or some special power)
Seeing as you don't seem to have a reason for her to leave yet, consider if it's really necessary to make her leave somewhere!? if her leaving isn't taht important, you should focus more on the central storyline!. I had the same problems about half a year ago about deciding on minor details - it's jsut time consuming and not realy worth all thr trouble!. Focus on the big things!.
If it IS important, you need a reason that'll flow wit the rest of the story or things won't seem beleivable!.
Good luck :)

So the main character is an evil girl, daughter of an evil woman living i a concealed town populated by an evil army!. What is it that evil hates most!? Good!. The messenger reports a new potential messiah and the girl is sent to determine if the person is indeed a messiah and if so, to lure him to evil!.
every story must have a significant change in the main character so you can make the girl evil in the beginning and then when she meets the messiah she falls in love with him and becomes good!. they return to the town to destroy the evil army!.
The game is how the girl finally beats her mother and takes over the town!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
All the options sound fine!. What you're looking for is really to have the girl choose between right and wrong!. So actually between innocent people in the outside world (right) and the ones she loves who are evil (wrong)!. Go deep with this and have her make a motivated choice!.
The messenger could bring news about a catastrophe that threatens the entire country!. A pandemic or a force of nature!. Something that normally no living person can control!. But maybe the girl can figure out a way to control it!. Maybe the girl has to rally other people with unique super powers that (when combined) can stop whatever's threatening the country!. But in secret, her mother and the town were behind it all so the girl must now choose where her loyalties lie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
