Hello everyone,
I am in the process of planning my creative piece for belonging, and I have come up with a solid idea.
I have written the beginning of my story and planned out where I want the story to go, but I am stuck in the middle.
I can't think of a good complication for my story, although I (may have) jumped straight into the complication.
I guess basically I can't think of a series of events.
Anyone who private messages me their email, I will send you everything I've written.
But for the this thread, I'm going to write a basic outline.
It's about a character named John who moved from a rural town to a big city in search for work. Because he is a very quiet and reserved person, he is finding it hard to feel comfortable in such a busy environment. And he misses all the old senses from his hometown like fresh air and the quietness. He is daunted by the tasks he would face in the next few days (finding somewhere to stay, finding a job or at least some sort of income to live on, and overall finding out how he can find comfort in the city).
The beginning of my story is basically just developing this setting and theme.
Now I am having trouble coming up with a complication and series of events.
I have already made a plan for my resolution.
Resolution plan:
I want the story to end in a way that talks about John realising that he likes the anonymity of the city; how by there being so many people in the one place, it makes it hard to be noticed. In contrast to living in a small town with a small population, it is much easier to be noticed as there are fewer people.
And I want to find a way to enhance his ‘realisation’ that he actually prefers Sydney.
If you think that's a bad idea then please suggest what you think may be better
So can anyone make a suggestion as to how to do my complication and series of events? (It could tie in with the theme of looking for work)
Thanks
