My sister is writing a book but needs help finding a conflict
Question Posted Wednesday January 15 2014, 5:38 pm
So, my younger sister (She's only eleven years old so she can't have an account) is writing a fictional book, but can't decide on a conflict. The story takes place in a magical land in the sky (it's on Earth but nobody can see it because they use magic to hide it), similar to OurWorld if you've ever played that game. The main character is a girl named Sky, who is about ten years old. Anyway, I think it's a great idea, but she just can't come up with a problem or conflict for the story. Any ideas? Thanks.
The magical land in the sky gets threatened by our world on the ground because they have some magical powers up there we don't? How is the girl involved?
Maybe they've never seen a plane before and it comes flying through the world destroying houses because the pilot cant see it through the magic? They tried to make sure it wasn't in the way of planes, but sometimes...
Maybe Sky meets some bad people and follows the wrong crowd who use magic for bad?
Something precious to Sky gets stolen. She searches the whole of the magical world for it, meets various people who give her clues/help on the journey ... and she learns some dark secrets about this land on the way.
Maybe there's some FORBIDDEN LOVE- amongst two sides at war- between someone on Land and someone in the air. (like in Romeo and Juliet?!) Maybe Sky is their messenger (like in The GoBetween)
