Help with my story please??

Question

Set in English 1831

An inspector finds a prostitute unconscious nxt to an abandoned Inn. The prostitute gets amnesia, forgets her past, becomes as innocent as a child (is this possible?)She's forgotten how to read or write,but knows how to talk. So, basically, she symbolizes how humans were before they were affected by the ways of society. Anyways, the inspector hates her at first, because she is, after all, a prostitute, but later on comes to love her-of course, this happens towards the end of the story. Anyways, what should the mystery behind her having been lying unconscious of next to an abandoned inn be?Who tried to kill her?Why? And should I have the inspector find a diary of the prostitutes which tells of her life before she got amnesia,like, the story will change from the present to the past, narrated in first person by the prostitute (her diary)And also,should I have her memory return later?How should the story end?Turn her back into a prostitute,by the influence of society

Should she have a diary, and WHY???
And if she does have a diary, why had she gone into prostitution when she was able to read and write???

And what should the inspector's surname be? Frederick...what?? Gerald? Grammond? Garamon? Lydgate? Garth? Renfield??? Any suggestions??

Answer 1

OR:
Her P.O.V. Detective meets, helps and aides her in her mysterious circumstances (i.e. finding her near death) She's the confused one. She remembers bits, pieces, confused cornicopia of images (fun to write and fun to read). Naturally trust builds between her and the 'detective'. They find out she was a hooker, awkward mixed feelings of horror on her part, as well as unworthiness toward det.
As they learn more of her past, her own self worth plummets. We see det. begint to take stance of less protector more... owner. He is distancing himself, or she is. perhaps leave confusion. During all this she uncovers a talent writing ? Something a woman could do independently (some form of art in 1831) Something unique to build on later.

Gradually it unfolds: She was a prostitute, and discovered a secret of some prominent politician (typical pillow talk secrets uncovered, murder cover up she gets caught in the middle). 21st century theme thrown back to 17th century could be intrigueing.

Climax: She discovers the detective her only link to redemption is in fact stalking her because of the cover up itself. He needs one more piece to uncover before he kills her. OR DOES HE?

He relents, pulls her to safety (real or metaphorical), rescues her because he has in fact fallen in love with her. But in her confronting him she realizes that even she can have redemption and in doing so, she understands the very act of forgiveness is two fold, or a double edged sword... she can forgive herself. Start fresh. Now, as equals she is able to face her future and leave her past.

Happy ending naturally... but it could actually go one of two ways, surprise ending being that she realizes, she can achieve her dreams independently and flies solo after the act of forgiveness. OR they go off together happily in perfect happiness... it IS fiction right? ha ha.

Sounds like fun! Will you share it when you put it together? Come see me at my 360, I have a few writers over there, and though its still quite new, everyone is sharing short pieces, help, assistance you name it. You might find some interesting characters. Let me know if you stop in, I 'm going to keep an eye on this one. :)

Forgive me also, its late, and spell check on a long bit like this tends to take a long time if it doesn't freeze... there will likely be typos too. Sorry.

Answer 2

The inspector was doing his nightly routine, because that abandoned inn was place of trouble.
story is great u should make the reader want to find out what happen to her that night that the inspector found her,
Do the diary thing, but since the inspector falls in love with her,he keeps it a secret from her.until one day that she finds it after being happily in love and lied to by the inspector about her past. She finds the diary in his shed on day when she decides to surprise him by cleaning it for him, before she never really had no reason to go into the shed in the back Yard.
After reading the diary she finds out how bad her past was, she starts to remember bits and pieces after reading the diary she remembered what happen to her the night that she was found.
that same night when the inspector came back home from work. He wondered why she was treating him like a king, she was grateful to have the life that the inspector have been giving her, she loved the fact that he forgave her past and never once thew it in her face because he really did love her, she never told him that she found the diary and no one really knows yet what happen that night until part two.
The book should end like that, that way you can write a part two. ppl will still wonder about her past and the secret they both hold from each other, (same secret), It should be called SILENT SECRET. i hope u like it. good luck

Answer 3

She's lying unconscious next to an abandoned inn because she was KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS by the man who tried to kill her.

The inspector's assistant, a policeman, tried to kill her. The inspector was supposed to meet his assistant accross the street from the abandoned inn, but he wasn't there and this injured woman was there instead.

The police assistant tried to kill her because they were both customers of the same drug dealer. He thought she'd squeal on him, so he tried to bump her off.

The diary should tell of her increasing slide into prostitution to support an increasingly expensive drug habit and a nervous fellow customer of her pusher whom she fails to describe very well. Her amnesia prevents her from giving details to the inspector.

The story should end with the inspector's police assistant freaking out and getting into a shootout with the police. The girl is injured by a stray bullet, but the assistant gets nailed and the inspector learns a lot about human nature as he bandages the girls wound and takes her to the hospital --a "happy" ending.

Answer 4

Leave the circumstances surrounding her attack a mystery. Have her thank the detective, but not return his amorous love (she loves him like a father or a brother or an uncle) and have her move on to a successful life doing something else. The detective is left to stare at her as she walks away into the distance.

This will leave the reader with having to make the morally ambiguous choice of whether the detective should have gotten involved with the hooker and the whole "tis better to have loved and lost" thing or whether he should have just kept to himself. It will provide a nice zinger at the end - especially if your readers have begun to empathize with the DT.

Have him read the diary - that will give the readers an insight into her past and give them a reason to identify with and perhaps like her. It will also save you some exposition time.

Names? I'd go with Frank Grammer - that way he can make lots of little Lenny Brisko-esque statements about "yeah like the subject, but spelled different." or "yeah, what your teacher tried to teach ya but you just wouldn't learn" or stuff like that.

Answer 5

Answer 6

nicely, for my maximum recent tale, i grew to become into stimulated via television. regularly television evokes me in any case. yet this one is distinctive. i grew to become into watching Terra Nova on television, or maybe even though it wasn't that great of a tutor, I nonetheless observed the flair in it. and then i desperate that writing a singular with dinosaurs could be so cool, and something so in assessment to something i've got ever executed in the previous. So then I embarked on all this making plans with each physique of those distinctive characters, and it grew to become into going to ensue in the jungle with dinosaurs. Then I continued the making plans technique and rewrote outlines. Then i began, and wrote a detrimental beginning up i finished up scrapping. And now i've got have been given the assumption down. And the humorous component is, dinosaurs are not even a component of it anymore. So the component that rather stimulated this novel, would not even exist in the unconventional anymore. It does nonetheless, even with the indisputable fact that, ensue in the jungle, however the assumption is virtually thoroughly distinctive from the unique stimulated thought.

The slueth's name...an Italian name, maybe. Like Columbo. Remember him? Hmm. Frank Caruso. Cool.
