i need to write the plot of this stoy i am going to write. i am thinking about making my story about this girl who was really happy but then she found out she had to move one day and became really depressed. anybody have any other ideas what i could add? what about ideas for the setting (where and when)?

Also, any ideas about what i could put for they physical appearance of this person? any name ideas for this girl? what about her relationship to others? her actions (gestures and facial expressions)? quotes or dialogue she would say? her behavior?

IF YOU COULD GIVE ME ANY IDEAS FOR THESE, IT WOULD REALLY BE APPRECIATED, THANKS!

I have been wanting to write a screenplay called the "Date." Bare with me. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, she has dreams he has goals, they cant get involved right now. Then she has to move. They deside to get tatoos of a date 5 years from that moment That is the date they are to meet at a certian spot. They don't talk to each other till that date.The catch is the date is backwards! it is on their chest above their heart, so everytime they look in the mirror, their reflection of the date is the right way it should be read. She gets depressed, suicidal, drugs, looking in the mirror(the song "someone saved my life tonight" by Elton John playing in the background) she sees the date, gives her hope and she straitens out her life, same story for the guy but I can't come up with that. Maybe a successful musician in a screenplay you could generate more money if it was successful by putting a soundtrack of an original artist that you could promote.

My dear, write about what you know. A story is only as interesting as the writer who has experienced what he or she is writing about.

You can't possibly write a story about a girl moving out if you have not moved anywhere yourself, or depression if you have not been really depressed yourself. If you both have the knowledge and experience for this, then you would not be asking everyone else for guidance.

Write about something else. Write about what you know. If you feel that you have not had much experience, then write about the daydreams that you - I know that at some point in your life especially now, you daydream about a someone you like, the future, your life, your ambition - why don't you use some of those into your concept? Or use stories that you have heard before.

If you want a character aside from yourself, then get the inspiration from someone that you know (they don't have to be your friends or family, it could even be anyone famous). This is what I used to do in school. There's nothing more inspiring than writing a fiction story that includes someone that you are absolutely head over heels for. On the other side, write about someone that you hate. You need to fuel your passion with an inspiring character. Let it be one that already exists (just make sure you change the name if you want to protect the identity).

I can't give you anymore advise other than that. If I do, then I would be doing your homework for you.

As a writer, you have to create and protect your own ideas for yourself.

As a little help to your cause, here is a little suggestion for a beginning to your story - then you can take it from there.

It has been three months. These past three months, I keep waking up confused, restless. How did I get here? What is this strange house? Who are these strangers around me?

I dont' want to be here.

Three months ago, I was happy. Alive. School sucked, but that did not matter. I was in the company of friends and the love that I had found in my life. What mattered was my friends. What mattered was Martin.

He was a boy I met in school --------------------

Take it on from there, my dear. It's all yours if you want it.

Let it be yours.
