Hi, all! So, I'm writing a novel, "The House of Sand", based on real life. A friend of mine read it and said that I need some major event to move the plot along. I'm not really sure just how big of an event is needed, though. (Not everyone can defy the Capitol and overthrow the government, right?) *cough HungerGames&Divergent cough* I don't really want to make up an event, especially since that would make the novel dependent upon explosions or tragedies or whatever rather than just the individual's actual life.
^Did that make sense? What sort of event would you want to read about in a person's life? Where do I take the novel from here?
