Im writing a novel but i am stuck on a relativly vital part of the plotline. Basically, i will tell you what i have so far and then ideas i had. Feel free to make any of your own. Also, i'd appreciate if u told me if this is any good,: The story takes place in a small cretan village in the seventies. It is a double narrartive story of two cousins who grow up together. The story describes in poetic tone the life and panorama of typical cretan villages but also takes the reader within the unseen depths of greek childhoods. Starting off with nostalgic humor, i create irreplacable memories of childhood, then teenage years. By this point the reader feels a tight connection with the characters. Then, as the girls turn twenty, one of them gets invited to study archeology abroad in England, while the other is left behind to grow in the simple life of the village. The theme is leaving your past behind and knowing where your home is. I tie in a metaphor with arheology and digging up your past

sounds like a great premise! wow. My advice, get a book called "No More Rejections" second hand maybe on ebay or amazon. It has a bunch of checklists for your novel. You answer the check lists and it can help you find what parts of your story are working and which need more work. I know there's lots of writing books around but this one is straightforward and easy to read. (I didn't write it either; )

It sounds great so far, but alas, I am no writer, just a reader. P.S. I would definately buy the novel if it were published. Great Job!!
