An idea

[Wileyfangs]

Hi! I'm GottaBe and well, I'm writing this because well I sorta wanted to see what others would think of my plot. I'm trying to become a young adult writer one day so I figured I'd might as well practice here and see how some of you like it. Feel free to flame, criqite and give advice, just please don't bee too harsh.

Abigail Hunter was always different. It was sorta hard to miss with an oddball family like hers. Between her father pretending she isn't a girl or that she doesn't exist, to her mother either screwing up on being a mom or going around the world leaving Abby to fend for herself in a man's world. Plus the new 'guy' at school isn't helping any, or the fact that it turns out she might not be 100 % human as she or her brothers thought.

Well, it's certainly an idea that many young (and surely also older) women will like. Many identify well with a female protagonist who's different from the rest, and it's more appealing to most women that the protagonist somehow suffers (you know, empathy and all that, and because everyone somehow experienced some forms of hardships somewhen - so people can relate), but who is also something special.
You'll surely reach at least some readers with this.
It's kinda hard for me to judge an idea, because it usually depends on the execution of it - the concrete story - whether it's good or bad ^^°
I don't regard myself as a pro writer - but I've read loads and loads of books and stories, and more often than not the blurb text of a story didn't really reflect the quality of the story itself. Sometimes you can have the simplest of plots - but write it in such a new and interesting way that you'll love it more than most complex plots. Sometimes the summary sounds thrilling - but the story isn't. It really depends.

So, I'd say - go for it! Practice is always good =)

The idea is hard to read because of how it's written. Having to think about the sentence structure takes away from the idea. You're writing this like a little book cover jacket and to some degree it sounds like one. It's just a little sloppier. You've got too much going in sentences and not enough oomph to make Abigail stand out! It's very scatter-brained. I don't mean to be rude, but it's just not flowing smoothly from one thought to the next.

As a concept, from what I can glean and fill in, it's this:
Abigail has careless parents and a new "guy" at school to deal with(what on earth is this in quotes for?). She doesn't fit in at home or at school. Her humanity is called into question presumably after some event occurs.

It reminds me of a cross between Robin from HIMYM and Terry Pratchett's book about the wizard who was a woman instead of a man.

It's not a bad idea, but I see nothing that makes her a standout character yet. I think the idea depends on where you choose to go with it and how. You've got to put a new, unique spin on the I'm different and special girl for folks to appreciate it, or create wonderful characters that suck you into the world and don't let go.

But, practice makes perfect, and my recommendation is that you write it all out and make a novel out of it, so that you know you can, and can learn your weak points! You don't know until you try!

Thanks for the advice Easter Bunny. I'll try my best.
