What should I write about next?

Question

I haven't been on here in a few days because I was writing a story that I actually finished. It was about a girl who falls for a guy that has Asperger's Syndrome and bipolar disorder.

What should I write about next?
I need ideas.

Nice work actually finishing a story—that’s rarer than people think.

A few directions you could try:

1. Same universe, different lens
- Write from the guy’s POV this time.
- Or follow a side character who had a small role.

2. New story, similar depth
- A sibling dealing with being “the healthy one” in a family focused on another child’s diagnosis.
- A friendship instead of romance, where loyalty is tested by mental health crises.

3. Completely new angle
- A character hiding a major secret (illness, identity, past crime) and how relationships form around what’s *unsaid*.

I haven't read any of your books but I love Christmas. Maybe think of a Christmas story that doesn't have the typical, predictable "Hallmark" ending. I remember a friend of a friend gave me a summary of a book she was writing, just to see if I liked it. It wasn't about Christmas but it was a typical, "boy meets girl, they love each other, then have problems but come together in the end..." She had a major twist in the end! The girl ended up getting cancer when they were together and pushed him away, because she didn't want him to see her die and him end up alone type thing. He stood by her and to make a long story short, said they'll get married as soon as she's cured (because she didn't want him to commit until she was cured). Her doctor told her she was basically in remission and cured. She called him while he was at work and told him. He said he was leaving to celebrate "and make wedding plans with her". On his way home, he died in a car accident! I was shocked! I didn't know if I should laugh or cry lol It was just a four page summary she gave to a few people but to this day, it still sticks in my mind. I'd actually like to read some of your writings. I can tell you're talented.

I thi know it should be something better than the Fifty Shades of Gray I've always wanted to write something like that but have a co-pilot to run things across and see if that's how they see it because Fifty Shades of Gray was okay but it could have been so much better

Nope. Give me a moral quandary with irrevocable life changing impact for the protagonist the antagonist and a multitude of innocent bystanders. Leave the outcome ambiguous.

I chose therapist/client falling in love because it is more of a forbidden kind of love.
