Open Question: Are there any ways I could improve my plot?
Amelia’s brother Noah committed suicide. Nobody knows why. He was popular, he had a loving family and a beautiful girlfriend. The story follows Amelia and how she copes without the person she was closest to, and how the event affected the relationships she had between certain people. I plan to make it a family dynamic with just the father, and I wanted the idea that Noah was closer to his dad than Amelia. I also wanted to include the idea that their mother left them when they were a few weeks old but I’m not sure whether I should have her try and get in touch or something in the novel since her son did die? What do you think? It also will involve sexuality (LGBT) because I want Noah to be gay but he had a hard time accepting it and he had a ‘relationship’ with a boy called Ben in the novel. That isn’t the reason he killed himself but it’s what may have led his depression to become worse. Romance will play a part in the novel between Amelia and Noah’s best friend Isaac because they both need someone to talk to. Isaac was the class-clown, ladies man type of guy but since his best friend’s death his become angry and distant. I also want to talk about how the rest of his friends get on, but I don’t know if that is too much? I plan to add the theme of music to show her starting off struggling but eventually getting back on her feet? Is that a good idea? Update: I also plan to have the main character have a good relationship with one of her teachers who helps her cope with what happened, but I’m not sure whether to make it a teacher or another relative like her grandfather or something
