    Alright, I am attempting to write a novel, and I only have a few chapters. However, I'm completely stuck! I have no clue what should happen next.

    It's about this girl who is super goody two-shoes and pays way too much attention to rules. She doesn't know how to sometimes let loose and have fun. Her summer is all planned out, with her going to science camp and everything. Then she finds out that her grandpa is coming to stay with them for the summer. Her grandpa is literally a kleptomaniac. He just got out of jail for stealing all the chapstick from a dollar store. Now she has to stay home and keep an eye on him
    all summer.

    That's where I am right now.

    Ideally, at the end of the book, she learns how to have fun and he learns not to steal things as much.

    I need help! I need ideas or inspiration or something! Anything you could do to help! If whatever you say gets me going again, you'll get fifty points.

    It's always good to have a complete outline of your plot before beginning. That way you can start from anywhere, create scenes, have fun .... you're in a tough spot. I have still no idea what the whole novel is about.

    Check this out - is it fantasy/crime-thriller/drama or something else? That way I might be able to help you....*smile*
