You really should write a plot outline before you actually start writing the book. It will save you tons of writer's block, furious editing and cutting, and time. I see you only have three chapters there, is that as far as you've gotten plot-wise? I'd be happy to help you with your plot if you give me the outline of what you have so far!

@Masterkey Sorry for my late reply, I've been in the middle of midterms and I just finished them. You make a really good point about the plot outline, I actually haven't considered doing it before you mentioned it, but it definitely sounds like a great idea to organize my thoughts. And yes, I've only gotten three chapters in plot-wise, that's unfortunately where I got that darned writer's block.
As for my outline so far, it's basically this:

  • A human girl named Analaura learns about the Signs and what they used to do
  • She becomes fascinated with them, especially the Sign that she was born under, Virgo
  • One day, Virgo arrives at the human girl's shop to meet her and explain why the Signs are back
  • Analaura witnesses firsthand the danger that has come to the Earth in the form of the Dribeteans
  • Virgo wants Analaura to come with them for safety and to possibly help fight off the Dribeteans

I was thinking of having some of the other hosts come in later as well, but I'm not sure how I would introduce them or have them join the Signs. That's why I only have a few lines for the third chapter, it's pretty tentative at this point.

@Masterkey

It's okay, I wasn't going anywhere. :P

I'll work on reading what you have so far, and then using that beginning of the plot outline to try to come up with ideas for you! I'll see if I can just list a ton of them so that you can choose between more than one.
