Hello! Alright. I need help from everyone one of you guys. (all 7!!!) I have joined a story-writing club that one of our friends is starting, and I need help deciding what my story should be about.

What sort of circumstances should this person come from?
a. rich
b. poor
c. middle-class (i.e. merchants, blacksmith, carpenter, tradespeople)

What sort of storyline should this be?
a. a journal of a person

Here I is, ready to help ya out! :P Would you like me send over some of my followers from Scraps to help you out?
ReplyDelete(b) Great Depression
(b) a young lady
(b) the city
(c) middle class
(d) mystery :P Actually, (a) would probably be better :)
(d) no, but mention historical people
Colonial, a boy, on the high seas, poor, the person telling this as a story, yes but not too closely
ReplyDeletehaha, just found your blog and couldn't resist commenting on this. :D
ReplyDeleteWrite about a young lady in the French Revolution from a foreign country (ie she's not really French, but she thinks she is), who lives in the city but loves the country (she has faint memories of a different life), and is middle-class (and so regarded with suspician by both sides of the Revolution), and it should definitely be an adventure story. Don't center it on a famous historical figure, but you should mention whichever leaders a middle-class girl living in the city would have heard of. :D
There. Hopefully inspiration comes to you quickly! :)
Blessings, Katherine Sophia
Ha, and I just saw you like the Peasall sisters! I saw them at a family bluegrass festival a while ago... fun! :D I haven't seen that on anyone else's profile...
ReplyDeleteHey guys! Jo, you certainly could send me some "Scrappies" if you wanted! Katherine, great ideas! Yeah, we love the Peasall sisters, but lately I was disappointed to see the way they had sort of conformed to the world in their dress. :(
ReplyDeleteKeep the advice coming! Thanks everyone!
