Can someone help me with my novel?

[LaForet]

hi ! I'm writing a novel about an old woman, her son and his wife. The old woman abondoned her son the day he announced her his marriage with his girlfriend. Since that day, she never talked to her son. Now I need a reason for her to write a letter to her son in order for my end to work. Can someone give me any sugestions?

I thought she could change her religion to one that insists on forgiving but then again, she hasn't talked to anyone in about 15 years.

Ok to start, it's somewhat drastic about an old woman who hasn't talked to anyone for fourteen years. Second, there has to be a very big emotional reason for his grandmother to abandon him just for marrying his girlfriend, which I recommend you use the word "fiance" instead. Third, you need to have a basis, when I read your summary I found it lacked history and future. Im not trying to sound like a jerk but spend some time revizing your story. smile

Yeah well thanks, I always find comments very usefull smile . Yes, there is a big emotional reason for Margareth to abandon her son but that's kind of long to explain. I'd send you my novel but it's in french ... sweatdrop

If you still need help: You can show human flaw* by having her ask her son for help because she has run out of money.
*The flaw being she abandoned her son untill she needs his help.

Maybe she should find out she has cancer or something, and want to make amends before she dies? I like Link's idea better though.

Perhaps she has some sort of life altering experience, such as a near-death experience or a visitation from some higher power, or maybe she meets someone of her own and remembers what it was like to be in love. Financial problems are always a good way to go, too.

yeah, well that's what I intended to do but she needs to have some reason to talk to her son or someone else so that she can realize it was her fault all along...

Thanks for the comment anyways ! smile

Hmmmm....well, you could have her suddenly realize that her son could die and she wouldn't have forgiven him.... confused .
I hope this helps!

Okay my creativity is flowing . . .



She is dying and she needs to tell her son that she won't leave anything for him in her will and something comes from that.

or . . . HIS WIFE IS DYING AND THE MOTHER IS FORGIVING HIM!!!!!!! HAHAH


I like the one in caps better . . . its more logical also biggrin

Can someone please delete this topic???
I've abandonned the novel and started a new one ...

She could of just found out she has a rare case of cancer, and she'll die in a month, and she's telling her son how she never felt.  

[dianersj]

maybe she is nearing her death so she wishes to receive her son's pardon before she takes off? that would make a good ending.  

[dianersj]

oh you started a new novel? what is it about?  

[Red-Chocolate]

maybe she could plan on killing him, but wanted to "cleanse her soul" first... mrgreen
