K so here's the dealio

I've been working on an original idea for some time now, have a few scenes written down with a bit of detail, but that's the middle portion and I really need to get all the major things down

Like, for example, what the whole frickle fracking goal of this book is

I don't even have a clear antagonist for Pete's sake

I don't want to drag out the story for too long or jam in too many characters that it just kinda hurts to remember all of them but I don't want to like under do it if that makes sense (it probably doesn't)

I know I want some characters to be in the story 100% but I have to figure out the goddamn plot of the story and I've been racking my head for one but it just isn't cutting it which sucks

A dream I had a couple weeks ago helped with who the antagonist would be but I just need so much more development and the title and description sound... idk wierd??? It just sounds so cliche and it sucks because I don't know what the problem they're trying to resolve is.

Shoot I still have to fit in the characters from the contest

Oh well I'll figure it out

Here's what I have so far (well not all of it- just what I'm willing to share so I don't spoil much)

BOOK ONE [SOMEHOW LINKED]:

In some way, somehow, everyone links together. Whether it be a person you met in the past, or even someone who you find is related to you, it all links back. Round and round it goes, but why should that matter concern you? I doubt you would care.

But what if I told you it involved the end of the world?

((Please help with the above- I'm not afraid to take constructive criticism but there's a fine line between it and hate))

ALSO

I need some help with these questions:

-who do you guys think the antagonist should be? (This question probably won't help the result loads since idk what the choices are but it doesn't hurt to try)

-what's something that could get you involved with police but not something too major like murder?

-does a "criminal"/someone who did whatever the answer is to the question above have rights to see a dead family member?

ANOTHER ALSO

I'm working on a prophecy and here's what I have for the first stanza (I do believe that's the correct term) and it's from a precog (again, I do believe that's the proper word) to El

A wish is something from deep within

Whether from reason, or love, or lie, or sin

It's yours to keep, but warn you I must

Handle it with care, for they you cannot trust

ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED

K here's a preview of the next cover so I don't feel bad about wasting a chapter

((This is pretty old since I anticipated that this book would end a lot sooner but whatever))
