Can you help me write a story from this basic idea?

Question

I have an idea and I need some help on writing the story. The idea is: "How do you tell someone how you feel when you don't think they feel the same?" Any ideas are better than what I have right now, which is nothing.

Answer 1

How about this,

It isn't easy beeing Green!!

I woke up this morning and when I looked in the mirror I was Green. I ran down stairs to tell my Mom and she was cooking breakfast and I yelled," I am green I am green". She told me she was busy and to go tell my Dad. She didn't even look at me.

I ran outside to tell my Dad and he was working on the Car and had his head under the Hood. I yelled, " Daddy I am green I am green"He told me he was busy and to go tell my Grandpa who lives with us.

I ran to the basement where my Grandpa Stays and he was working a cross word puzzle and I yelled, "look at me I am green I am green!!" and my grandpa said go out side and play I am busy and he didn't even look up.

I went back to my room and sat on the bed looking at my mirror and I said,"I have only been green for 5 minutes and I already heat all these other people."

It isn't easy being green!!

Answer 2

There are standard plots to every story: Boy meets girl, Boy falls in love with girl, Something happens that stands in the way of Boy and Girl getting together, Something else happens that's just as worse, Boy loses girl, Boy fights the obstacles that made him lose girl in the first place, Boy wins girl...THIS IS JUST ONE VARIATION.

In your case, your story is dealing with the obstacles of love. Telling the "object of the heart's affection" that they are loved is just one part of the story. There has to be a bigger plot to it, though.

There has to be an obstacle that is preventing this guy/girl from expressing themselves. Maybe cultural differences, or family interferring. Think Romeo and Juliet (this is what most romance stories revolve around).

So, this guy/girl is going about their everyday business. Maybe things are all screwed up in their lives or maybe things are peachy. Then, something happens that throws everything out of order. Maybe the person loses their job or maybe they get a new job. Then they meet/see their crush. This is what's called the "inciting incident", the thing that propels the story forward. So this person falls in love with this other person and doesn't know how to tell them. Maybe the other person is taken or maybe it's the other person's boss or superior. So the person who has the crush is trying to figure out a way to tell this person but in the meantime, things are getting in the way. Maybe the love interest is having problems of their own and is not open emotionally which would make it hard for the other person to profess his/her love. Maybe this person is to get married soon. This would set a ticking clock aspect to the story which will create the urgency and conflict that will make the reader want to read to see if the person can profess his love before it's too late.

Throw in some subplots too. Like maybe the love interest is sick or getting over a bad relationship. Maybe the person who has the crush has a bad self image of himself and doesn't think he's good enough. Then he would have to overcome conflict within himself.

Stories are all about increasing conflicts. Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Himself, Man vs. Society. And as you write, remember that the only way the reader will stay interested is to keep the conflict coming. One bad thing after another and when it seems like it can't get any worse, it does.

My advice to you is to go to the bookstore and buy a couple books on Plot. These will help you alot. Also get books on Character Development and Conflict.

Good luck from one writer to another.

Answer 3

Charlotte was nervous. As she sat down and had a glass of tea, John walked into the room. Her full attention zeroed in on him. His eyes. His features. She loved him with her whole being but was not quite sure how he felt for her. They had known each other since they were kids, for crying out loud. She then made her decision. Tonight. She would invite him to dinner, put on some soft music and bare her soul. She just couldn't take the pressure from her own heart anymore.

I hope this gets you started.

Answer 4

I'm from Bangladesh, It happened to me in 1981. During my graduation at the university I fell in love with this most beautiful and sexy girl in the world. She was rich, she used to come to class by her car with the driver. I lost all the senses and I started to follow her even to her class. That was a different class than mine. I went totally obsessed and insane, she was the world to me.

She did miss her class at regular basis, so the day I could not see her, I had the wish to suicide.

Once when I was turning to be totally mad, I asked the driver about her adderss and he gave me.

Then I found the house and the next day I started an ultimate stand at her gate. Everybody asked me what do I want, I said the guard of the house that the young woman that goes to the university, I'm crazy for her, I won't live without her and I'm gonna die here unless she marries me.

The drama begin, people started to gather, some threatened me to leave, some encouraged me to stay. Lots of relatives came with cars giving me a look to kill. They told they're gonna call the police. But I said "Go Ahead". I'll simply kill my self if you do that, I have the medicine with me (I really had).

The drama went on, it was more than 48 hours. It was hot, it rained heavilly and I felt like I'm gonna die for sure.
Suddenly the guard told me that dont loose heart, she is not allowing anybody to call the police, she feels for you, she's been crying for the last 12 hours.

I lost the sense of time and everything, i caught a terrible fever and suddenly I saw her, like an angel, straight from the heaven coming down to me and asking me to hold her hands. I wasn't dreaminig.

Now its been 25 years since we've been married and we're really happy.

But I could never tell her what she thinks is not what I think. Because she thinks she's very lucky to have me and she adores me very much because of the way I've propsed to her. Its like a fairy tell to her.

But, again but, I must tell somebody that the girl I went crazy for at the university, is not my wife. The driver tricked me by giving a wrong address.

The way she (my wife) first gave her hands to me is divine. It was raining terribly, I was horrified by fever and hunger and suddenly she came with her eyes full of such love and affection for me that I felt like this must be true love and it is meant to be, I felt like I'm in home. I didn't correct her mistake, I wanted to make the mistake and it felt so right!

Answer 5

My favorite device is the third person. They're usually someone older, maybe a parent or grandparent, especially male- they tend to be more blunt.

I saw this on a t.v. show where the guy actually said; "...he only teases you because he likes you." Then he walks off.

Answer 6

I say B (the 2d one) purely because, i basically can't stand memories set contained in the Salem section because no remember what the tale is continuously a similar. That and that i recognize a sturdy suspense-action tale.
