Hello Everyone I have a question about storylines. More specifically, what to do with storylines that move in a different direction? I just started a short vacation by the beach, and I am enjoying an adult beverage. I am watching the white puffy clouds roll by. Life is pretty good. I then start to think of a book idea about a little girl and boy laying in the grass watching the clouds roll by. The little girl sees a castle in the sky and comes up with a story about her living in a castle with her mom and dad, the King and Queen. She is the princess of course. She sees another cloud that is her dog, Fluffy. The boy sees the gray clouds. One is the evil witch that is going to put him in a cage. I know for some people childhood isn't always rainbows and unicorns. But what do you do when a storyline moves in a negative direction? Do you start over with a new storyline? Do you work the negative story into something positive? Do you continue with how the story is developing and find a different path for finishing it and never publish it? Should I stop drinking adult beverages? As a writer/creator what do you do?
