Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Hey! So a lot of you guys are on NaNoWriMo, and I was wondering if we could make a thread here to work with eachother for our stories next month, give suggestions, give criticism, and help eachother out. I need the help!

Also, NaNoWriMo is about books. So it's fitting for BAB, right? I think I tried this before, but it isn't coming through.

I have a plotline written out. Is it good? It's Children's fiction. The title is Sarah Secret. The Plot:

Sarah is an energetic young girl who believes in magic (VERY important to the story.), who's lived in the city all her life. Then, one day, her family grows. Her mother has a baby, and her Father realises that they can't live in a cramped and crowded apartment anymore, so he decides to follow his dream, and move to the country. They live in an old but updated house, but her dad has decided to get goats and fufill the rustic lifestyle. However, they live miles away from the nearest store, but there is many scattered houses if you go a mile away from where they currently are.

All of this is just a background.

The Secret: about 300 feet away is a very large house. It's grand, and Sarah calls it a Mansion. But the house has something to do with the tragic past of Rowina Road and the county that they live in, And it is said that a man lives in it alone. But, with the help of Sarah's troublesome goat, Andre, who snatches a peice of paper with a 'spell' on it that she wrote, she discovers that the man is not the only one who lives in the house.

A little girl, named Elizabeth, lives there as well. But why is she always inside the house? And why is she so quiet, and obedient?

As Sarah struggles to find her place in her new home, she also struggles with growing up, as she'll be 12 next year, and her only comfort and solace are her books, fantasy books wrote by authors in the city. Books with magic, which Sarah insists on reading, and writes 'spells' and runs wild with her imagination.

Elizabeth is her secret. But what's a secret if it's meant to be told?
