I KNOW ITS LONG BUT IF YOU JUST TAKE A FEW MINUNTES OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its about a girls who is a popular and she also a prostuate and this geeky guy who is head over heals for her....well 9 months later she has a baby(which later she finds out is deaf) and the guy she thinks is the father(not the geeky guy) says this is not my child and walks out. Then a couple years pass and the girl meets the geeky guy(who is not so geeky anymore) and they of course they fall in love (well kind of the girl is very hestiante and is always saying how there great friends now)and the guy who says this is not my baby come back into her life and messes everything up the guy and girl. I havent thought of ending and of course the story is going to much more detailed. This was just an outline i wanted some thought and suggestions on it thanks!!!! plz read this

I think it could be a great idea. I have a couple of ideas for you to think about. Instead of having the main girl be a prostitute, just have her be an average high school or college girl who is in love with her jerk boyfriend, and then gets pregnant by him. This will help more of your readers to identify with the character.
Have that girl be a struggling single mother a few years down the road when she runs into geeky guy (who at this point is doing something like finishing up a law degree, starting a software company, or becoming a doctor, etc).
Of course you need a climax towards the end where ex-boyfriend messes up their blossoming relationship, but in the end someone has a heartfelt pleading and says that can't live without the other one and then they live happily ever after.
It's kind of a knight in shining armor/ romantic comedy cliche, but we all need a little of that every now and then to keep hope alive.
p.s. Don't worry about your grammar and spelling as much, you can learn that, there are many great english professors out there who couldn't write a story to save their life. Focus on your creativity and your ideas. Good Job!

What's a "prostuate"? Prostitute? I don't know if you're writing this for work or pleasure, but you've got to realize this storyline has been done (with variations, over and over). Which is not to say it isn't good - especially if you can put a new print on it. How does the child being deaf play into all this? Are these people in school when the story starts?
Honestly, you know I haven't read it, so what can I say? It doesn't sound very interesting.

It sounds interesting enough, but also the 'geeky' boy character is sort of generic. The outline sounds interesting, but is the girl in high school? Being popular and a prostitute doesn’t really work. The ‘scenes’ in high school don’t really mix like that. If she was popular in the skank circle I could understand. I like how the baby was born def though, it adds further conflict to the story. I know this is a rough outline, so I suggest beefing up the character traits just to make sure that the story isn’t a generic one. Hope I helped, I am also an aspiring author :)

Do you want your story to be character or plot based? If you want it to be character based, don’t worry about too much about a complicated plot, have one main plot point that continues to and resolves at the end of the story, but also something that gives your characters the opportunity to develop and like each other. A relative or mutual friend dying could bring them closer together. Or they could be forced together because of some bizarre mix-up. they could have to keep it a secret because maybe one them is married, or the rest of them family/ slash friends hates them also or something else. The plot doesn’t have to be that important, if you've got the characters and you like them, concentrate of that rather than making up a plot. The plot can be actually, the characters hating each other then falling in love and having to keep it secret. it the story is plot based then the plot will have to be more intricate. I can’t help you as much there because I don’t know about your characters or their situation. They could be spies investigating each other or owners/workers of rival businesses. The idea of keeping the relationship a secret sounds a little like Romeo and Juliet but that’s cool because a lot of relationships are kept secret. You can be demonstrating what happens in real life!! By the way, how old are your characters because that would change what the plot could be about. I hope this helps.

Its a good summary. There is a lot of raw material there. I totally agree with Ethan about some story points. Maybe consider making her into a part time exotic dancer. Maybe so she can make money for some expensive surgery for her son.
He has an excellent point about the grammar. Your first draft is always full of spelling and grammatical errors. Just let the story make itself known. Sometimes, the best parts are written in the margins.
Have fun.

I think that is a great story outline. It is detailed has conflict and love. You have something there. Now since you have an idea of how the out line is going to be start writing there is always time to go back and change (add, delete.) things.

Well the plot needs some work like her being a popular prostitute but when you straighten out the loose ends it might be a good read

It sounds interesting.
However, I would strongly encourage you to get help with your spelling, grammar and punctuation before writing this!
Best of luck! It sounds like a good plot!

That is really confusing.I don't really like it though. It seems like a good soap opera but I can't see it as a book. If was a book I don't think that I would read it. It's kinda creative... In a way.

Perhaps you might like to give some thought to grammar and sentence construction first? I mean, you will eventually want people to be able to read this story, right?
