Some creative questions.

[readingredhead]

I don't care if you have five minutes or five hours -- answer these questions for me and I will love you forever.

By which I mean to say: I'm trying to figure out the dynamics of my story and I need a little help, possibly a few suggestions, so it would be awesome if I could get even a few seconds of your advice.

1. Why might a witch curse you to be a werewolf at the age of 15? Because of something you actively did wrong, or just because she didn't like you? How bad of a thing would you have to do?

2. If your son was cursed to be a werewolf, and you were the only other living person who knew about it, what would you do? How would you act around him?

3. What might make a 15-year-old boy hate his father?

1. Werewolves are violent to the extreme, so if anything, I would see it as a punishment for violence. Force them to attack again and again to the point of self-loathing so that they learn to hate violence and stay away from it. It could have been an accident, but the witch might not know that.

2. I would probably do whatever I could to keep it a secret and possibly find ways to keep him from running amok at night while searching for cures in books and whatnot.

3. Abuse or abandonment

Okay, I really like the violence idea. Make him a werewolf but keep his mind human when he transforms so that he understands (and hates) all the things he does... Thanks for the other suggestions, too!
