So I’m changing things up this month and giving you August’s first Idea to Steal this week.
Changing things up? Wait. You lied to us?!
Sorry, all, but I need a little more to complete all of this month’s posts before my Montreal trip. In the meantime, here’s a meaty story idea for you to chew on.
Someone close to the main character (a friend, father, brother, significant other, etc) tells her that he needs to travel to a foreign country. Tragically, this man dies before he gets the chance. Some time later, the main character journeys to this foreign country. While there, she finds the dearly departed’s name associated with a high-profile scandal. (How the main character discovers this is up to you.) What happened? Is this why the main character’s friend/father/brother/etc “needed” to come here? Will the main character figure out the full truth before she returns home? How can the main character make things right or at least set the record straight?
