I'm 13 and have a great idea for a sci-fi book. I don't want to post it though, so no one steals it. Anyways, I'm kind of stuck..
The general idea is an alien crashes and it from his point of view his story is he has an affinity for family seeing as his was all killed another character is human but ive said a lot already. Please help
 
I think that what you need to do is to spend some time seeking ideas for your story within your own brain; after all, you are going to be the author of the resulting novel. Try making an outline of your proposed plot, describing your characters, the conflicts which they will face, and the ultimate outcome of the story. When you have the characters and the story-line roughly conceived, you can concentrate upon more detailed plotting, perhaps dividing your story into chapters, deciding what action will occur in each of them. Ultimately, you must simply begin writing; no one can do that for you. Consider what you are imagining to be a learning experience; everyone had to go through the process of development as a writer. You say that you are only thirteen, so you can not expect to become a proficient writer immediately or without practice. Your objective should be simply to conceive, produce, and complete a readable story. See what you can do! Good luck!
