I have a main story line that I'm working on right now. It isn't much of a written out one though because I'm awful at pacing and keeping one point of view. I also am not much of a writer in general, throughout this blog I'm sure that will become apparent as my word choice and phrasing are lacking. I mostly just draw all of the characters and keep track of events in docs.
I want to ask for some advice or help with it but I'm not sure where to go to ask so I've decided to try here. I had another account here before but I ended up deleting it since I had little to no connection here. I've decided though that even if people don't interact with anything I post or *me* in general it might be nice to just post it all out somewhere.
My story is very silly and "self servant" so it's not like there's any harm in posting it. It's a very silly fantasy story.

The story follows a woman named Katherine Sauer who is born sometime in the 1920s ish. It is basically a timeline leading to how she becomes a vampire doctor in a radioactive wasteland. It sounds very lame and flat but it really does have a lot of little details. I'm not looking to make it into a complete story I just have a lot of plot holes I can't find logical patches for like -
- In the beginning there is a god. Not the God! This god created the first vampire and ends up being killed by that vampire as well. I just can't find anyway to make this death believable or at least a little reasonable. When the god created the vampire (David Hall/medieval times) he gifts him with a sort of omnipotence or knowledge. It's like his party trick that's supposed to help convince people the god is real and to believe in him. However if David is gifted omnipotence through this god then one would assume the god ALSO had some sort of omnipotence. If he did then how could have David killed him? But in a way I kind of need the god to die for future conflict.
- Relating to that, the gifts. There are three vampires the god creates before he dies. They are each given some kind of gift that god himself possesses. I can not come up with these gifts for the life of me. They fall under knowledge, healing, and faith/manipulation. The vampires pass the gifts down through their bloodlines (those they bite). I genuinely just hit a dry spell when coming up with individual and unique versions for the gifts. Also a side note but considering the god made them and they are "blessed" with gifts I'm not even sure if I should be calling them vampires because they are in no way traditional. The only things that stay the same are the biting, undead immortality,and increased strength.
-and lastly one of the biggest problems. Writing about something I know nothing about and that I have partially made up. Katherine is not just a doctor shes an all around academic figure who works with a completely made up form of radiation. sometimes I just get stuck because I cant even imagine the type of conversations that should be had in the hospital the story takes place in. I have researched but even then her areas of knowledge are just so vast and it is almost necessary for her to be that way for the story to go how it does which sounds like a slight flaw to me.
------------------
I'll probably post the full story once I find some comfortable resolutions to these problems and make it a little less silly. thank you for reading if you did. any comments are welcome
