Young Writers Society

Okay, hi guys and the female equivalent.
I am attempting to write a novel set around a future in which the human race has pretty much crippled itself.
I am going to put up the first chapter soon, but I need help getting some ideas down for chapters.

I know how chapters 1&2 are going, but a few are alluding me.... Can anyone help me?

Chapter 1: Intro, Kaliniskov
Chapter 2: Waking up in P-45 (military bunker)
Chapter 3: Basic Training
Chapter 4: Attack on P-45
Chapter 5: Wandering through desert
Chapter 6: Joins bandits/theives/scavengers/mercenaries (?)
Chapter 7: First time Borys attacks with them
Chapter 8: Describes Years that go by
Chapter 9: Whatevers all killed, Borys left alone again!
Chapter 10: Hallucinations, Desert, Mother
Chapter 11:
Chapter 12:
Chapter 13:
Chapter 14:
Chapter 15:
Chapter 16:
Chapter 17:
Chapter 18:
Chapter 19:
Chapter 20:

I think we need a clearer idea of what the story's going to be about before we give suggestions. Also, what exactly do you want help with? Plot? Character? Chapter names?

Post back and we'll try to help. Good luck with the novel.

*side note* - You're missing chapter 13.

Sorry about that, I missed out on Chapter 13.....

What I need help with essentialy is Plot line. I am just posting up the first Chapter now, So you guys can read that (and female equivalents)

I believe the female equivelent of 'guys' is, in fact, 'gals' .


Personaly, I have no idea abut future chapters. It's your story, you know what you want to do with it, so really - only you can choose .

Is this a stock story or not?

Er.... Don't exactly know what a stock story is. Look at Chapter 1 to see what I am talking about Snoink

A stock story is a story that is familiar to many people. That is, it uses cliches to come up with an interesting story. For example, any movie with James Bond is a stock story. This doesn't make it bad, mind you, but it uses a familiar plot and familiar characters to get people to read it.

It appears it is by reading the story but I want your confirmation.

I hope not. What I plan on doing is sending the character into as many unfamiliar situations as I possibly can, and see what he comes out as in the end. Yes, maybe there are some cliches and generalised plot examples, but I am hoping to twist them. For example, he may end up getting in a large fight section, and I intend on killing everyone know to him. I want to keep myself on my toes as well
