A socially reserved, young girl (around 14 or 15) who has few friends goes about her days listening to other people's conversations and writing down people's deepest secrets in her notebook.
I love the idea, but I can't think of a conflict, much less a resolution.

When, during one of those times, she over hears of a plot to break in and burglarize a home, but she doesn't quite hear WHERE the house is that will be burglarized. She goes to the police with her information, but they don't believe her. Two days later, it is HER house that gets broken into, however, she is there at the time, and had day-dreamed of what she would do if that were to happen to her, and unknown at the time to herself why, she had prepared for just such A thing to happen.

One day, she sees in the newspaper that a man in town is found dead and police have no evidence, suspects or anything. She remembers the man and looks in her notebook and reads where she wrote down some things he had said earlier when she had been eavesdropping on him. She makes an anonymous call to the police about the information but the cops find out it was her and interview her. Unfortunately the cops aren't the only ones interested in the girl's knowledge of the information. The cops confiscate the notebook but don't believe the girl when she tells them she is scared for her life and they send her home. Now she must find out who is after her and how they are connected to the murder before they get to her. I could go on and on, but you finish it....send me a couple thousand when it's a best seller, k? ; )

She loses the notebook.
It's found by someone she knows, who wants to use the information inside to harm someone, or some people.
Your protagonist needs to discover who has the notebook, and, by breaking out of her reserve, needs to either deflect the harm that's being done, neutralize the situation that might be affected by the leaking of the information, and finally, to retrieve the notebook and foil the discoverer's plans.
Presumably, she learns in the process to live among her friends and no longer need to keep her notebook, except possibly for her notes as a budding author.
Back to you!

I didn't finish writing the whole novel and it wasn't very good because there was a 30 day deadline, but I did write 50,000 words of a novel once which is the longest story I've ever written. I am now re-writing it.

The conflict? Well, if I were writing the story, I'd have to
think that someone would see what she'd written. That
could lead to a lot of serious consequences; and it'd be
set of a sort of chain-reaction, since the news would be
spread gradually across the campus where the girl is
going to school.
Work with it. It's got potential!

Me being a writer- it sounds like this might be the makings of a writer. You might even be trying to solve the problems by putting it down in print and having it up front to look at and possibly analyze. Or you might be trying to put it into a story line. Find out information. Get the middle and the end. Voila a story in the making.

One day she is sitting in the school cafeteria and one of the punk guys see's her compiling these secrets in her notebook, he goes over and grabs the notebook and starts reading everything in it outloud to anyone that will listen. The principal walks in and sees the guy reading the notebook and tells him and the girl to get to his office now. The girl gets expelled and the punk kid gets a 3 day suspension from school. The end.

Maybe the conflect could be someone finds and steals her notebook of secrets. If the main story is about a girl that write secrets in a notebook, it is most likely a prized possesion to her.

She hears 2 guys planning to pull a columbine. She is afraid if she tells the teacher she will lose the few friends she has for being a snitch. She decides that she has learned her lesson, so she keeps her mouth shut and her nose out of other peoples business.

She figures out that some of her peers are planning on murdering her and that she doesn't want to tell them because then they would know about what shes doing and she gets really scared and doesn't tell anyone because shes scared that no one will believe her.
Then one night while shes walking home from her grandmas she gets kid napped by the same girls who are planning on killing her.
Thats a start. I just now made that up so dont laugh.
bye. Hope this helped.
