Story plot help!! Please!?

Question

I have the plot for the story i want to write however i have no idea how to kick off the novel!!! Help!!
The story is about a guy called Dc (Dylan-Conner) who is an ordinary guy with an ordinary life. His best friend is a girl called Aylie (Ayleen). He lives a normal school life, football, girls but he is not very popular and Aylie is his only friend. One day he wakes up with parts of his body showing his bones through his skin. He fakes the school day off ill. The next morning he wakes up and he seems all normal again. He starts to feel angry all the time. Aylie finds out about this and explains who he really is. He belongs to a group of people - like Aylie- called Daemons. A magical mist keeps the Daemons hidden and it hides their bones. Aylie had been spraying the mist onto Dc for years but had had some trouble from the Angeli (children of angels who hunt the Daemons). Aylie and her friends are the only good group of Daemons (they don't hunt humans or drink human vitality, the feed on animal fear instead) Dc is supposedly a descendant of a high demon and his powers are unknown. His name, Dc, was thought to stand for Dylan Conner but actually it stands for Ducis Calamitatem (Latin for leader of destruction). The Angeal want to hunt him and kill him but the bad Daemons also want him to liberate them from the under world.
Constructive criticisms only. Any ideas how i could start the story? Just some ideas to start the flow. How could i end it? Cliffhanger? Help please!!!

Answer 1

Try to create a hook. Start the story where the action is. In this case describe the race of people and how he became part of them. the information about the girl and the school is back story. Put it down in out line form, then imagine telling it to a friend or some one you are trying to make interested in the story. Like an English teacher. Remember you have to keep them interested and the story has to flow.



When I am working on some thing and stuck (as usual) , I imagine telling an actor how the part has to be portrayed. and we are in the scene, and usually getting shot at.

Answer 2

Start anywhere you like. If it doesn't work you can always change it. And how it ends is going to depend entirely on what you write in the middle. You can't have a cliffhanger if it ends up that you managed to tie up everything within the body of your story. I suggest you brainstorm. It's your story and you're going to write an entirely different story than I or anyone else would.

Answer 3

I would starts off with something humorous it always capture the reader and they read on but don't make the story predictable plot out everything from intro to climax to conclusion or cliffhanger if your starting a series

Answer 4

Maybe, you could make this object that represents the deamons and it holds there identity a secret. If it's taken for a certain amount of time, there identity will be revealed and humans will hunt them. So the main characters would go on a quest to return this item to the place where it's supposed to be.

Answer 5

well, it depends.



do you want dc want to destroy the underworld? if he does: he needs to travel to the underworld and claim his throne. then you should have a big preparation for war with the angeals. (before i go farther, dc is the good guy?)

then write a big battle scene

and maybe make a little romance between dc and aylie.



if you want to make another book, make a cliffhanger. if not, have a nice ending
