Taking a short break from the story. Right now, I'm only in the introduction, and it's fine, because I have no idea where this story is going. I have no idea where the characters are going to end up at the end. I've been floating around a couple of ideas, but haven't settled on any of them.
Some of the ideas I've been chewing on are as follows:
1. Someone dies.
2. Someone gets sick.
3. Nothing happens, status quo.
These ideas are too cliche for me.
Another thing thats in my head right now is that this is a story of the family. Not of the daughter, the father, or anyone else whose viewpoint I may write from. This is a story of the family, told by the family. And maybe that's the path this story will go on. Perhaps they realize that this is first and foremost a family problem, which requires a family solution. Or perhaps they realize that all the bitterness and anger they've been harboring is unnecessary and useless. But how do they get to that point? How does this realization dawn on them?
What is the climax?
