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. I have chosen historical fiction as my genre, and now I need you guys to vote on the details. Please do this, because it will help inspire me! If you have siblings, ask them what they think...okay?
So choose which letter you want from each question:
Which time period should I write from?
a. Civil War
b. Great Depression
c. Colonial
d. Victorian
e. The French Revolution
Who should the story center around?
a. a boy
b. a young lady
c. a family
d. a married woman
e. a man
Where should this story take place?
a. a rural area
b. the city
c. in another person's house (i.e. a servant working for a rich family, etc.)
d. on the high seas
e. in a foreign country
What sort of circumstances should this person come from?
a. rich
b. poor
c. middle-class (i.e. merchants, blacksmith, carpenter, tradespeople)
d. serving class
e. slavery
What sort of storyline should this be?
a. a journal of a person
b. the person telling this as a story
c. an adventure story
d. a mystery (PLEASE NO!!!! :)
e. just a simple story
Should this storyline center closely around a certain historical figure?
a. yes
b. no
c. yes, but not too closely
d. no, but mention historical people
e. Absolutely (if so, who?)
Okay guys! Hope you can help me decide! I wish I could get more followers on here to help me out! :) -Rachel (Or Josie)

(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
haha, just found your blog and couldn't resist commenting on this. :D
Write 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! :)

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...
Hey 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. :(
Keep the advice coming! Thanks everyone!
