Roxanne Shriver (roxannexshriver) How about you post what you've written, so that we can kind of see how the story is going so far? :) That sounds like a really interesting story by the way.

Would you mind making a list of ideas you have already and maybe the direction you want this story to go in? It would help us to have a better idea of what you want. Also, I have altered the title of your topic to make it more specific.

Roxanne Shriver (roxannexshriver) I agree.

marc the story i have in mind is during the civil rights movement when a sadist targets blacks who try to gain equality the first victims are a mom and dad. the kid is at the stream playing a harmonica and thinking why pepole treat black so diffrent then he goes home mom and dad is not there so he goes to bed think they went somewhere. the next morning he wakes up and finds 2 men who inform him about his mother and father whos body they found tortured and murderd. iam blank after that i think i might want to have the kid'find his parents murder, have the kid make a living with his harmonica, ideas please to make this story a possiblity

marc oh how about the police in town wont do squat so cause they are in kkk so the blacks made thier own police.


message 8: by Roxanne (new)

Roxanne Shriver (roxannexshriver) So does the kid become a psychologist? Because it sounds like the kid is the main character.


message 9: by marc (new)

marc no. i changed ideas instead the kid gets kidnapped by the sadist
and the black police must find him. while the kid distractsv the sadist.

Jessica (jessicalcozzi) That actually sounds pretty interesting--the part about the kidnapping, I mean.

 Tara ♪ | 445 comments Good ideas. As for your new police force, how are they treated? Do other citizens know who the members are, or is it secret? If they do know, have you planned any attacks or violence towards them? Because in the Jim Crow South, it would probably be illegal for them to form their own police force. This is a solid idea and it sounds like you have a good direction. Lots of tension, which is great. Do make sure that you do your research, because many readers do tend to notice historical inaccuracies and inconsistencies. This sounds great. :)
