@TeAmoYonna All you have is the beginnings of two characters. To write a story, you need characters and a plot. The basic concept of plot is that your main character (protagonist) has a goal, but something or someone (antagonist) is in her way (conflict). The action builds until the conflict is resolved and then the story winds down and ends. If the protagonist does not achieve her goal, it's a tragedy. If she does, it's a comedy (from tragedy or comedy, not the haha comedy). So create a plot with those two characters (and others). Does the girl want the boy, but he's not interested? Do they want each other, but her parents are against it because he's a bad boy? Is there another girl involved getting in the way of her getting the boy? Is there a disaster that brings them together? If you can't come up with a plot, you can't write a story. |
