Help Me With a Storyline?


It’s National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org). Each person is asked to write a 50,000 word novel in a month - it benefits libraires in third world countries.

Anyways, I’m having a terrible case of writer’s block. Since I only have a month I don’t have time to just leave my work for a few days.

So here it goes: my story is set in the future and my main character is a clone who is on a mission to try and find who he is a clone of. I want there to be some be twist though. I thought about my antagonist creating a clone army or something similar, but that’s been done so many times.

Any ideas would be great - even if you don’t think your idea will work, tell me and I might get something off of it. Thanks a bunch!

Can I get sued for writing a novel about someone I know without getting their permission first?


The novel itself will be a fictional account of something that really happened. If a person recognizes themselves as a character in my story can they take legal action against me? More importantly, can they win?
The main antagonist in my story is starting to seem more and more like an ex-friend/boss of mine. The real bummer is that his personality is so generic that I would have probably wrote it the same way even if I had never met him.
