I had the craziest dream last night. It was like a movie. There was a beginning, middle, and end. There was a plot, conflict, and semi-resolution. It was amazing. I woke up and immediately wrote down everything I could remember. I want to give you a quick intro to what it's about (just so you know, the rest of this blog will be me thinking of ideas for characters and story progression).
So I'm thinking of a few good names for the main character. In my dream, it was me (it's always me), but I want it to be someone else for the story. I really love the name Gwen. But I feel like that wouldn't fit the character. I could definitely see her being named Bree or Kennedy. Something like that. For now we'll just call her MC (main character). MC is just a plain old normal teenager in the US of A and of course, the government is really terrible at being a government. So aliens invade the Earth (I have the coolest dreams) and all they want is to live in peace. But the US, being the place that it is, won't allow that. Oh no, no peace for ANYONE. WAR IS THE ANSWER! No but really, Obama attempts to fire missiles at the aliens (thanks Obama!). Obviously that was a stupid idea because the aliens are far more technologically advanced than we are (I mean seriously, they brought their entire race to Earth from a completely different solar system and we can't even get a person to the next planet over). They take over Washington D.C. first and then slowly start heading around the world. Back in (enter city name here), MC is just doing her thing on the internet like she does everyday. Everyone has heard about the aliens and stuff, but they aren't really doing anything about it. Instead, they make stupid memes and update their twitters about how ridiculous the government is.
The aliens were putting people in these camps. I guess you could call them concentration camps. But they only did it if you disobeyed their two laws. 1) you owned certain types of synthetic materials (I suppose they were trying to clean the earth?) or 2) you were hiding fugitives. But if you were a fugitive, and were caught, you were sentenced to death. Basically, MC did something to become a fugitive (not sure what yet) and she goes on a journey to run away from the aliens chasing after her. I know how it ends, but obviously I'm not going to tell you. You'll just have to read and find out what happens. I'm gonna start writing this week and have the first chapter out by next Friday. I do want feedback on any ideas you have for characters, conflicts, or small scenes. I really like ideas from other people (hint).
I also want to thank everyone that has read my blog. It means a lot to me that people actually like to read my writing. I work really hard on every post and most of the time I think about taking each one down because I don't think people will like them. I don't get much feedback so it's hard to tell, but I am confident that each post will mean something to someone. Once again, thank you :)
