the plot seems a bit too boring and common.
so i would love it if someone gave me an idea that could sort of twist the plot around a little...
1. a girl's father dies (does not have to be the father)
2. girl grieves over father's death, up till the point her life seems empty
3. a guy at school whod had a crush on her sends an anonymous letter to her, worried.
4. the girl and the boy start a trusty correspondance, and little by little, the boy helps the girl out of her shell and out into the real world.
i thought the base of the plot was good enough but the other stuff was just sort of too sappy and expected.
so if i could get some sort of twist in this... (i was thinking maybe she thought he was a stalker at first, or maybe they start this 'daring' game and they dare each other to do stuff [even though they cant really see if the other person is doing it], like the boy might dare the girl to talk back to someone, until one dare goes horribly wrong.....)

Well, perhaps you should add some more characters....like suppose the guy's mom was actually in love with the girl's dad, even though the kids didn't know. Or the girl has a friend who likes the guy and sends HIM an anonymous letter, so he thinks it's from the girl..... If you add more characters, more conflict, it'll bring the story out more.

2 recommendations for an exciting twist to this tale, yet some would sense it is over carried out. a million.) the boy she's starting up to trust changed into in touch contained in the shortcoming of existence of her father by some skill and that is he feels compelled to help her come to words with it. 2.) the guy who sends the letter is really lifeless and the letters she's receiving were written earlier he died. in case you somewhat favor to operate a twist to it you would possibly want to even set up the position she knew the guy and changed into on the fringe of him, like they were acquaintances or something, yet his real thoughts did not come out till after she lost him. you would possibly want to nonetheless use the inspiration you've listed in #4 and on the end have her discover out that he were writing those letters because he knew he changed into going to be round a lot longer and had to help her ease the discomfort of his lack of existence and as a very last request to his (mom, father, sibling) the letters are being despatched to her after he has kicked the bucket. only a idea yet desire that helps

The boy slowly reveals himself to be a real creep, becomes scary and puts her life in danger. She, in turn, has to rely on things her father taught her to get her out of danger and escape the crazy young man, whose game to draw her out was really an enticement of a serial killer or other perverse motivation. The things taught could be revealed through a series of flashbacks to the girl's life with her father and it could reveal some secret that her father only obliquely related to her through these lessons that ends up giving her a new understanding that she never had while he was alive. That's my two-minute brainstorm! Thanks for letting me play! Cheers!

The father was the girl's last living parent.
When he dies, she takes up living in the local public park!
The boy leaves the messages for her under the park bench at the park, and she answers the same way.

Wile the boy is helping her, he suddenly has a problem and make the girl help him. That way she will feel useful and with a goal in life.

Why are you telling the world the story YOU are writing? Get busy and let your characters develop their personalities and create their own stories. That is what all successful novelists do as far as I remember.
