The stigma of the old stung beneath her skin. She knew that no matter where she ran her fears would follow. The fear that maybe she had no more to achieve, unbeknown to herself that this was her motivation.The friends,the family that she had once relied on to hold her up had dwindled away until only one stood. The one who she had never relied on, never looked twice at or really got to know, herself.

i was wondering if anyone had any advice on my introduction?im actually stuck for ideas to continue this story as every road which i have tried to go down seems to come to a dead end. Help would be much appreciated.

I'm not really sure what to tell you, Carmen. There are many ways you could branch off and continue this story. Have you any general idea where it might be going? What's your character's name? What is the stigma? What is the story going to be about? Give me a little more information and maybe I might be able to come up with something.

Sam.

perhaps you should step back from trying to write the story and think of the ideas behind the character, or, in general, where you want to go (as sam has said) and then get back to the writing part again. One trick that I've heard that helps with character development a lot is to fill out a ficticious job application or personal ad that will force you to get to know your character and their background better.

Hey Carmen,

I agree with the other two comments, I think that this piece could be strong enough to branch off of. But to go along with Sam's comment, why don't you write yourself a letter about whoyour character is, what your plot is, and let the pen guide you.

You've obviously some talent, and in the moment passion, but now it is time to carry that through. Spend some time thinking about your character, your plot, your style and maybe read a book or two while keeping your plot in mind.

Good luck,

Dhyre
