That sounds horrifically painful. But why would they be driving home? The parents never want to see her again, and they have no idea their son is out looking for her.
Also, need a happy reunion without stupid sop and unrealistic dialogue...
Might work... I don't know. However I spin it, I think she is going to be dead by the end of the story. The problem is, I don't think I could write a reunion without soppiness.
My characters all got mad at me and left, basically. :(
Also my muse started shouting at me and was like, "OMG THIS PLOT SUCKS AND YOU NEED SOMETHING ELSE"
So now my batshit bipolar self has decided to do this one instead. And, as every other year, I'll probably change it by next week.
I agree with the killing her off. If I do that, she'll have died a few years before (still working on that part), but left the letter in the care of a neighbor or friend to mail to her brother on his sixteenth birthday (when, she figures, he'll be old enough to deal with it). The story would end with him standing at her grave, and saying he hopes she's found peace, and he wishes he could have had a chance to meet her.
*Grins* Me too. I don't have a concrete outline yet, will probably work on that this weekend, and I have a bit of research still to do. And my characters aren't solidified in my mind, they're like grey blobs at this point. So still a ton of stuff to do before November.
OMFG YOU'RE RIGHT. *fails at calendars*
How's yours going? Are you going in with an idea or just winging it?

You know, if you want to be sadistic like that...
