Re: Plot
It's not a stupid question. But it's certainly one that makes you go "Hmm..."

You see, when I write, I come up with these three things first, and usually in this order:

MAIN CHARACTER(S)

CONFLICT

ENDING


Then, I connect the dots. Sometimes, I alter the ending or change it entirely to something differently. But only in extreme situations.

Liam makes several good points in his post. Use his advice.

And for inspiration, I suggest that you chech out some old myths from older civilizations.

They help, trust me.
