Is this a good idea for a book?? PLEASE READ ?
Ok, i know that its kind of similar to other love stories but whatever…So ; Its all happening in the early 19th century. Scarlett was a really beautiful, smart girl, she played the piano, read books, and so on. She also had one sister, Purslane who she loved more than anything. Her father was a doctor, and her mother was a beautiful housewife. Everyone thought that they were the luckiest family in the village. And some even envied them. One hot, summer night on August 17th 1804, two men broke into their house, and killed Scarlett’s parents, and her beloved sister Purslane, in front of her eyes! But somehow she managed to run away. Because she was afraid that the two men will come after her, she went all the way to the city of London. She was 13 by that time, and old enough for that incident to scar her for the rest of her life, And it did. She looked and acted pretty normal, but deep inside she was dark, sick, maybe evil…In London she lived really poorly, until she was at the age of 15 taken in by a really fancy, rich couple who had two children of their own. A boy Felix (16 yr.), and a girl Rebbecca (15 yr.). Rebbecca was envious like no one she had ever met, but the boy was always quite, always reading his books, and never talking to her, Rebbecca, or even his father. He only liked his mother. That was because John (the father) wasnt his biological father, and so Rebbecca wasnt his real sister ether. Scarlett somehow gets close to Felix, and they fall in love. Felix one day tells her a story of what changed his life forever. He told her that his father was an alcohol addict, and he constantly abused him and his mother. Felix also had a sister, who was 2 years younger than him. She was killed one night, when she tried to stand defend her mother. She was killed by her father. Thats when Felix and his mother came to London. This story reminded Scarlett of her past, and she started acting differently. Felixes also weird behavior brought up the evil side of her, but she loved him and he loved her. They both had deep wounds of their past. They had a kind of Heathcliff- Catherine (wuthering heights) relationship. But Felixes father was still alive, so one day he came to the city. Felix and Scarlett saw him. In him Scarlett recognized one of the men who had killed her family. Her behavior became even worst. She decided to get out of London with Felix, but days before they would leave (they were 17 by then) Felix went missing. Scarlett looked for him, and found him in an old House, the house belonged to his father. They ran away, but he followed them. At the end, Scarlett kills Felixes father (she was 18), and jumps of a bridge due to the mental illness she carried since she was 13 that became even stronger once she met the murderer once again. Felix continues living in desperation, and marries a girl he meets at the university. He never loved her, and lived unhappy with her and their one child. He dies at the age of 51. He had loved Scarlett till then.( im not so sure if it should just end with Scarlett killing herself or with Felix marring the other girl??)
xD Thats it. Im kinda planning on writing it in 250 or more pages. Im 12, and came up with this recently. I like compliments xD.

Nice.

Depressing ending, though. But, we haven’t seen enough of those. I always see happy endings. I’ve never really read a book with a sad ending, but that’s just me.

Wow… that’s really deep if somewhat depressing. I like the story but I think it should end with Scarlett killing herself, then do a prolong on Felix dieing at 50. I think that would be very professional. Remember, most writers just write whatever they think of so if you do plan, don’t be surprised if it comes out differently.

Oh my god wow! This is an amazing plot! It has everything good in books. Mystery , romance , villains , hero’s , tragedy , murder and it’s very realistic great! I would love to read it. Some mistakes though such as if it’s in early 1900’s why was on 1804 the story beginning? Go more deeper into how Scarlett felt at the murder of her family and how she escaped. Where were they living before? What village? I love the way you focused on Felix never really talked to the father and Rebeca. (I think you misspelled Rebeca) It was good to show a little mystery with that. Amazingly full of pain great! Please write more then 250 pages I’d say it wouldn’t be enough anyway. Your very mature to do it good luck! Also maybe write it from Scarlett’s point of view so you can explain her pain and anger. Like " I stared so numb as the man hit my beloved sister and blood crimson and sickening dripped from her pale face." Maybe after Scarlett’s death you could do it from Felix’s point of view or Scarlett watching him from Heaven. Also who found Scarlett’s family murdered? Try do a sad chapter on that to a family friend who find’s them maybe. Good luck!
