I need Help (Again!)

(This post is actually by me, Mary Catherine. I'm having technical difficulties regarding blogger username.)

So, you know the story I was going to post about the family living on a farm with a bunch o' kids? (Well, uh, I kinda barely started!!!!!!) um, well, I love all the plot ideas I came up with from some help (you guys!) but the fact that their dad leaves for war is just too heart-breaking for me. So, I need something else really exciting. If ya got any suggestions just write 'em in the comment box. Thanks a ton! <3M.C.

Hmmmm.....something else exciting. Well, how about one of them breaks an arm, but thats not enough, right? Well, that's one thing, tell me if you need another.

Ahh...more help? Very well... lemme think!

Hmm...


What about a few of the kids get lost? Somebody gets very sick, but then gets better. Their friends have to move away. Somebody gets some sort of injury. A fire, flood, storm, etc.

Well, theresome ideas! I don't know if you like them...

But that's all I've got!

Good luck!

Is there a war going on? When is the story set? Is it when there could still be Indians near by?

The parents could have to leave for a while, and something could detain them, leaving the kids to fend for themselves. Don't know if that's any good.

There could be a drought, causing fires. Maybe their house could burn down!

If there is a war, they could hide a wounded soldier, and then have soldiers come and search their house for him. That would be exciting!

Or, one of the kids could be given a secret message that they have to deliver to some important general or soldier of something, and then that kid would have to travel and struggle to get the important message to the person....

Or there could be a dreadful snowstorm and some of the kids could get lost and have to fend for themselves in a cave until they could get home or someone comes and finds them....


There you go! I know they aren't that great! I have a lot more though. Email me if you still need any ideas!! <33333

Thanks so much, guys! What great ideas! It is in modern times, and there are no Indians. It's just like now, you know, the war in Iraq? But, I thought of that, and the dad going away just didn't work. Okay, Anna, maybe you could email me some more ideas? I know i'm asking a lot of you, but don't worry, this story will really be worked hard on!
