Question: Do you like this IDEA for a STORY!?
The main character of a story I'm writing is a very beautiful girl named Jamie who works as a manager of an important restaurant chain!. Jamie is a single mother by choice and she decides to give birth to her first child, a son named Sebastian, in her parents' home with a midwife!. When labor begins, Jamie decides to wear a bikini top as a bra that resembles the colors of a leopard's skin!. Jamie does this because she wants to put a little "glamour" in her homebirth experience and because if she wears a night-gown perhaps she would feel very hot!. Do you like the IDEA that Jamie wears a bikini leopard top as a bra during her homebirth!? What do you think to combine 2 of the pillars of the feminity: beauty & motherhood!? Give me your opinion, please !!

Sounds interesting! :)

I like the idea!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds great, as long as you give Jamie the personality to match her choices!. Does she want to feel beautiful for her own benefit!? Is she doing it so someone attending the birth will notice (maybe as a sign of rebellion against her traditional parents), or maybe so the baby will grow up and look back and pictures from the birth and know that his mother has a wild side!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

its defo veri interesting!.!. a lil crazy by some standards but its making sence i guessWww@QuestionHome@Com

Um!.!.!. So where is the plot in this story!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I appreciate that you're trying to combine two pillars of femininity, but to me, the idea sounds a tad shallow!.

First off, it's a bit cliche to have a beautiful main character, and even then beauty is subjective!. I understand that maybe her beauty is important to the plot (though I'm not sure what the plot is at this point), so if you decide to go this route, it's very important that you give her depth and even flaws so that your readers don't become bored or annoyed by her!.

Maybe you could take it a different route---if it doesn't interfere with your plot, etc!.--- and make it so that she's pretty but not the envy of every woman, you understand!? Give your average Jane character personality traits and idiosyncrasies that make her engaging and lovable!.

Play around with it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
