Story Idea
I am thinking of having my story base around a character who is struggling with her family not being religious. She is a college student who's parents and brother mock religion even though she herself has faith. She is from a wealthy town in Connecticut and it will take place on one of her vacations in late fall. I am not sure about the set up of the story yet but I know I am going to try to write it in third person. I want to make the family's mocking comments borderline comical but still be able to feel the hurt and confusion it causes the main character.

I like this idea! I think you could do a good job of showing how she feels like somewhat of an outcast from the rest of her family, and how she tries to fit in with them but their comments make her uncomfortable and she never directly joins in with them. Cool! Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteSound like it could be a good read. I think characterization will be key.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Keelie, we'll definitely need to get a lot of background on this girl and her family, as it goes so beyond religion, but more about acceptance.
