I Can't Think of New Ideas for My Story.
Hi! I'm thirteen years old, and I'm writing a love story about two girls. I'm currently working on the outline. The problem is, I cannot think of any new ideas.
I'm not the best at making up new ideas. For anyone on here who is an author, how do you think of ideas when you're writing an outline for a story?
Anyway, here is what the story is about:
The main characters are named Estelle and Irisa, and they are both gay. Estelle comes from a homophobic Catholic family, and she goes to a private Catholic school. Irisa comes from a tolerant family and goes to a public school. They sometimes see one another on the walk home, but they didn't pay much attention to each other until they saw each other at their favorite restaurant.
They start talking and start to become better friends. They also talk when they see each other on the walk home from school, and they start liking one another.
Irisa is also teased at school because she is out of the closet. Estelle is not out of the closet, but she cuts herself because she hates hiding how she really feels. One day on the walk home, Irisa and Estelle make a pact to help each other with their problems. They grow closer but don't realize that the feelings they have for each other are mutual.
One day, Irisa tells Estelle that she likes her. Estelle says she likes her back, and they start going out in secret.
That is the main idea of what I have so far. I would like any advice on how to think of more ideas for things that can happen next. Any suggestions on things I can do to complicate the plot, as well as suggestions for important events that can happen next, would also be appreciated. Thank you! And I'm sorry this is such a weird question.

Oh thank you haha:) yeah i hope that helped.When youre done message me so i can give you my email or something. Im not gonna post it in public but yeah haha
Oh I'm 16 and I love writing too. And yeah its pretty hard coming up with ideas. Inspiration can come from many things, sometimes there is a dry spell of when you can't think of anything and sometimes it just pops out of no where whether it's from tv or movie or the people and things that happen around you..just always be aware of everything and take everything in and you might find something that intrigues you that you can add to your story. And your story sounds very good so far. Some ideas are that maybe estelle has an older sibling who finds out about her relationship and threatens to tell their parents and the sibling becomes abusive and shames her and makes her feel like shit for what she is doing and Estelle feels sick and dirty and the sibling messes with her head so much that she doesnt know what to do or who to trust and begins self harming even more and falls into depression and doesnt tell anyone including irisa and she starts ignoring irisa. And then one night irisa sneaks over her house to talk and see whats been up. And right when estelle is finally opening up and telling her everything that has happened and how she misses and loves her and they have a deep convo, estelles sibling bursts in and they get into a huge fight and the sibling is cussing at her and pushing her around calling her names and irisa is trying to break it up and punches the sibling in the face and the sibling runs out to tell their parents about the horrible things estelle has done. While the sibling is gone they decide to act, to leave. They jump out the window and run and run and they run away and live their lives together and um yeah. Thats all i got haha sorry if those suggestions sucked but yeah. When youre done with your story id love to read it. You can send me a link of where youre gonna post it or a link to the document or something
And yeah good luck with your story!
