Hi Guys
I am trying to write a story ... and to complete it !!! . I am up to 3000 words.... how many words is a short ish to medium length story ???
I seem to be just at the beginning .. I have introduced some of the main characters .. I need to expand this .
How do I create the story plot ??? I have ideas but not a definite plan as such.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
These are the characters so far>
Aira: 13 year old girl... gifted , not sure how yet.
Professor Gustav: Her father .. slightly eccentric but very kind scientist
Sophia: Her mother .. can travel across time.
Alfie: Their talking cat
The dragons: Tomas and his mother.
Peter: time traveller in 2014.
Young biy .. name undecided , about 15 from war time Britain to 2014.
BTW I just would really appreciate help / pointers as to how write plots etc .. I know some of you guys are really good at it.
Thank you for your help

Ummm...As to the story and plot...It usually starts with a rough draft and then I move to an outline...although
to be honest...some stories seem to write themselves and I'm just along for the ride...
