Been writing a story, but I've been struggling with plot points. Could you give me some comments?
So, for the last few weeks I've been writing a story for myself. Simply as a creative exercise. It's about this girl Mary, who has a crush on a half-time worker from the local farm, and fellow student, Cole. She's been trying to get his attention for quite a while now, but he always politely declines, saying that he is busy. Not willing to take a "No" for an answer, she looks for a way to interact with him during his work. It is at this moment that she finds an old crystal bottle in her grandmother's house, which says that it can bring someone's love to them if they drink its contents. She takes the bottle home and drinks it. Quickly, she is transformed into a cow. After understandably freaking out, she reasons that THIS is the way to connect with Cole. So after the effects wear off, she goes to the farm, transforms and approaches him. He is quite friendly to her in this new form, and so they spend more and more time together. After this part, I am struggling on how to continue the story. I know that I want Cole to turn into an animal as well, but I don't know how to do it in a natural way. You guys got any ideas?
