Looking FOr Horror Writer's
Who thinks this idea will work for a plot line.
Title: Blogger Main Idea: Timmy Shaw is a teenager out on his own, finding life can get lonely on the streets of L.A., his only companionship is his laptop, which he has a hard-time paying the monthly service bill, he has no job. He does get breaks finding odd jobs at online job services and through people he meets on the street. A brush with death with a psycho gives him shelter at a local hospital, his laptop is saved, he starts a chat group devoted to homelessness, he finds a place to live but it doesn't work out before long he is back on the street with only his laptop for companionship. Not long after, a pretty girl notices that he is in trouble and lets him move-in with her. Timmy finely finds a good job, he has kids and they live happily ever after. He gives his old laptop to his son and buys a new one.:D

I'm going to be honest with you. This is hackneyed. Other than the fact that he has a laptop, this might have appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1930something. The only thing this could convey is pathos and it doesn't do much with that. My advice for you is to go character first. Come up with a person you'd like to write about and then build a situation around them that makes sense for them. Take bigger risks, find stronger poetry. And read more.

Computers are the opposite of cinematic. Doc is right, come up with a character first and really get to know him/her. Find out why someone would pay money to spend time with the character and THEN put him/her through hell. If we like the character, we'll follow him/her to the gates of hell.

is this a good story for a book.
this kid is born and the mother is still a virgin. nothing happends bad till the night he was born. she went into labor and it was the worst birthing ever. so much blood and black warm liquid. the kid wasent crying but his eyes we open wide and had just this blank expression. the lady died giving birth to her son she named before she died. his name was Alister. When hes about 7 he starts to turn very angry and just wants to break everything and do nothing but destroy. but never ever makes a sound ever. Then when he turns 12 he gets much much worse when he starts to get into acid and speed. sex drugs rock and roll and insanity. He doesnt remember everything but he seems to untouchable. blood all over the place and out for drug and mayham. but weird shit happends to him a lot. due to, too much acid use? in the end it turns out the kid is now 66 years old and is talking to himself saying everything he has ever done but hes only talking to himself. i got no name yet but im really serious about this. been thinking for a little. and thought of this and a couple others. led me get some feed back. thank PEACE
