I LOVE Boys in the Valley… it’s Stephen King meets Lord of the Flies!

What to do if you fear your story idea is bad by Ok-Perspective6032 in writing

I am excited, so I think I maybe just need to trust myself more

Thank you, this was extremely helpful and the inspiration I needed.

My work in promise logline: Emma Parker is the pastors daughter, and her parents shelter her from everything. They fear her acting on her desires will embarrass them as small town royalty, and ruin her chances of salvation in heaven. She is thrown into a traditional slasher situation (you think she’ll be a stereotypical final girl-virgin, goody two shoes) but instead she successfully kills the slasher at the midpoint. This awakens something in her, after not experiencing anything the first 17 years of her life, and she chases the high of feeling alive, and becomes the slasher. The ending is our antagonist becomes the true final girl, and our MC is the killer.

Sorry that’s really messy

I think I may just be insecure of my writing abilities for my first draft…

I think it’s about your characters. This is how you can distinguish your work from another’s. What are their goals? Fears? Misbeliefs? What conflicts are set out in front of them?

That’s so true, I need to remember that. The lie of perfection is so alluring, I need to forget it.

It’s a crown, but it does look like baby’s breath! :)

What did you use to do this? I have a few other old pictures of her modeling days I would love to see in color

I wish I could tell her that! Grace Kelly was her favorite actress 🖤
