Would anyone like to read this book?

Question

I love writing and I've been toying around with this idea:
Abigail Anderson's life dramatically changed ten years ago when she killed her would be rapist, her brother Devon. After countless hours of therapy, her parents sent her to an institution, believing that to be the only way to help their daughter. After she was released it seemed Abby might have a chance at a normal life. She graduated high school and then college becoming a real estate broker. One day, she arrives at a house she is getting ready to show. When she walks inside she's shocked when she opens the door and sees pictures of her brother all around the room. Scribbled on the floor is "you will pay" in red letters. After ten years, her brother is coming back to haunt her. Someone is making sure of that.
Just give me your thoughts. Should I hang it up or keep writing?

Okay, no legal problems because it was self defense. I don't have specs yet, but working on it. It is NOT her brother returning from the dead. I already know who it is.

Answer 1

keep writing I like what you wrote so far

Answer 2

It's hard to tell from this little bit of text how good your story is. The only problems I see with your plot so far (and I understand that it is just a synopsis) is that there is no indication of the legal problems Abigail would have had after killing her brother. Also, the "the person I killed isn't dead and is out to get me" plot has been done many times, so you will want to make sure that your story is extra special in some other way.

In any case, I would encourage you to continue writing, even if it ends up just being for the experience.

By the way, and for what it's worth, I've had one novel, several dozen short stories, and many magazine articles published in professional venues.
