I’ve started writing this story. I only have 2 paragraphs done and I’m honestly just looking for some events/plot points so just give me some ideas.

Do you have any personal experience that you can relate? Do you have some specific sentiment you're trying to relate? If not, what makes you think that this will be meaningful?

>> No.18912407

Yeah, I’m trying to escape from some problems and have some mental issues. The girl my character meets is supposed to be a representation of my own schizophrenia. Mostly because it helps me cope and provides me comfort.

lmao lemme guess you're american
modern americans always seem to treat any kind of angst, concern or, really, any personality at all, as entangled with drug abuse. its so disgusting. every single goddam american anything story since the sixties. a youth, drugs, fucking, whining, arbitrarily chilling the fuck out, never anything important felt, beleived, known, attempted. search engines and seller sites seem to censor accessing places selling "death to america" flags so i'll have to goddam sew my own. it will decorate my reading cave nicely.

during a psychotic episode he has a vision on his broken phone and can talk via this psychosomagically revived device with his crush
little does he know she's actually an alternate-universe version of said crush, living in the world of his insnaity, worries, childhood-memories and dreams, blended together - everything beyond the 'standard' parts of consciounsess, ontologically imminent yet orthogonal, cosmically real - and implying with it, upswelling from these forces, some destiny an struggle. they have their own consciousnesses, drawn from the shadow world of the unspecified-yet-conscious (a psychological NOT FUCKING FREUDIAN approach on heidegger's 'world'). as these contraworlds interact they modify one another. the otherworld's 'him' contacts the hisworld her. anima and animus dancing drunk, with masks and knives. thoughts?

Ok how about a chap named Dave who goes down the pub with his mates, but they've run out of draught and so he's sat there like a mong drinking mong pub wine in a pint glass and he and his two chums sit and recount their youth (interspersed with thoughts of drinking mong wine). It's a short story of around 60 pages or so, called 'Another Round'. Actually it's probably a better play than a short story. I just came up with this rn as I'm sat on the toilet having a disgustingly wet shite, feel free to adapt anyone ITT.

you need to think of themes first and foremost. Plots and "events" are meaningless without a thematic basis to make them interesting and a relevant piece to the novel as a whole.

OP I have no comment on the actual plot of your story but do you have experience train hopping? If you don't, then how do you expect to write about it? Normally I wouldn't say this is an issue since most writing is writing about things you may have never done, but when it's as pivotal part of the story as it seems in your pic, the inauthenticity will be very obvious. Even to a layman.

>> No.18918848

>>18918732
I agree this is a problem. Do you think it would be alright if OP watched a ton of youtube videos of people trainhopping? Assume he's an insightful and observant young chap and not a drug addicted lunatic.

Is that enough information to write a believable experience?

>> No.18918865

>>18918848
It would definitely help. But compare the writings of the Beatniks to writings of people imitating the Beatniks and you can see a clear sort of divide form. I think if you're a good enough writer you can make anything work though. But if I was writing about something intimately, that's as niche and specific as train hopping (with as clear cut a community), then I would really want to have some sort of experience and understanding of how it works. Could you write a great story without it? Of course. Depends what the story is going for I guess.

A boy falls in love with a girl.
Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC’s own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.
