Story help/ideas/suggestions

ok so I’m in need of ideas and suggestions. I have had some writers block working on my first story. So I came up with some ideas! Can I please have suggestions, more ideas, things that would make these better, and the one you would most likely read! I know that’s a lot but I’m so stuck!
Here is what I have:
Plot #1 : Shy, invisible girl at highschool wishes every night to be noticed by someone, but one night feels different, the next day she wakes up and goes through her normal routine at school, until she realizes she really is invisible and so is the boy that has bullied her through high school. Now they both must find a way to get out, but will they fall for eachother?
Plot #2: You have been homeschooled since you were 6 , when your mom died, since then you have been extremely quiet, unknown, practically invisible. That is until you get accepted to your dream college. How is such a shy, and basic girl like you going to fit into such a whole collage.
Plot # 3: your the good girl in school, with good grades, morals, and a strict father who works in the police department to keep you in line . What will happen when you attend a party with your friend (doing something risky for the first time) and meet the bad-boy. He just moved into town. Your wonder why your dad has been at work all the time and he explains that money has been disappearing for the last week. You start sneaking out to see this “bad boy” but the more your with him the more you find out until your with him at the scene of the crime., and your dad shows up. Who will you follow your new love? Or your father.

I know these are messy but they will work for now!

Ok so I decided to do 1 and 3. So while 3 will be my main story, I will continue to work on 1 as a side story kind of. there is just so many things I need to work on and as a first- time writer (meaning this is my first story) I need some expierence with coding, plots, characters and structure. And I feel like doing 1 would take a lot more skill so I’m hoping to get some of that when I write 3! If anyone would like to make a story themselves off of 1 just please give credit, or if anyone would like to co-author 1 with me I can do that too!

I really like the first plot, as it is different and not something super common and overused! I think it’d be refreshing to read a story with such an interesting plot, and I would 100% read every last chapter! This is just my personal opinion, and if you would rather write one of the other stories I think they would be just as good and unique :))

I do have a few questions about the first plot, though. How would the girl know that her bully is invisible? Would she be able to see him? Would he be able to see her?

I agree with @episode.myra on the first one! It’s usual and definitely intriguing. :thinking:

The first plot is intriguing and original, and I’ve never seen anything like it before. So, I’d definitely go with that one.

I really like the third one, to be honest! I feel like the third plot is an opportunity to really explore all parts of a person in a much deeper dept. Emotions, childhood, struggles, the difficulty by never doing anything wrong. Not being “used” to adrenaline. I feel like this plot is something one can relate to, if written properly, and I really love stories like that! :slightly_smiling_face: I however, do like the first plot a lot as well. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Like mentioned, it’s original, and I therefore think that is a great idea too. :blob_turtle:

Okay yes, I loved this idea too! It just has a lot of kinks and problems I would have to work through. And to answer your question, I think she would find out during a class they had, say she is walking around the room seeing if people can see her and she bumps into him and it goes from there. Obviously that’s a general idea and I would have to write it out more! I’m also stuck on what they need to do to become invisible. Like what “task” would they need to complete!

become UNinvisible*

I like that idea! Maybe when they bump into each other, they trigger some sort of barrier that allows them to see each other? And yeah, I can see where a few things would need to be planned out and cleaned up- no offense intended- but that’s totally okay! Literally, I’m having the same issue with my story. But what I find really helpful is to plan everything out in a Google document so that you can organize your thoughts and ideas! Another thing I would recommend is to jot down a list of questions to ask yourself and your characters. For example, ask yourself: “Hey, what should my MC and LI do to become uninvisible?”, “How did they end up invisible in the first place?”, “What’s my MC’s initial reaction to being invisible, and why does she react this way?” Just simple questions that help to gather your overall plot and conflict, and strengthen it a bit more!

Thank you so much! I will definitely be doing that!

I’m definitely intrigued by the first one. It’s so unique! If you do choose to write, let me know, I’d love to read!!!

So I’ve got a little suggestion for your first idea. Regarding the bully… the redemption of bullies needs to be well-written and not seem toxic. There’s GREAT potential for character development in your idea, especially in him.

Let him EARN redemption from the MC. Let him learn from his past for the sake of his future. Show us that he’s not a bully anymore and that he’s actually changed.

Good luck! :relaxed::white_heart:

I love all of them! But if I had to choose one it would be either the first or third one.

Okay thank you so much for your feedback! I am definitely going to write this first one!

Also, do you think the way to get out could be character growth, but both of them refuse to accept it. For example, he has to change and realize what he used to do and who he used to be was not okay to become uninvisible. And MC (sheltered her whole life, shy) has to… That’s what I’m stuck on! I would need a better backstory for MC and LI but other then this idea its the only one I have to get them to become uninvisible.

3rd plot is intriguing for sure…

Yes, I see your point with the MC’s reason for being invisible. Is there magic involved? If so, what kind? Is it a curse? Is it unique to them?
