Some plot points

So, I had this horrible migraine earlier that left me incapacitated in bed after dinner, moaning in self-pity. But it gave me time to think. Once the sun set and the room got dark and my head was at peace (as long as I didn't move), I started going over possible plots for my novel.

First off I had to rethink my POV. I had originally thought of doing it from the "mom" POV of Sue since I can relate best and she is mostly based on me. But I started thinking seeing the fun-loving life of Lori through Lori's eyes might be more interesting. So I laid in bed thinking about possible events from each prospective. Now eventually Kasey is going to fall in love with both. How would Sue handle the situation?

She would be worried about how Lori would feel and is very caring so might not take to the advances right away. She is also absurdly lonely so she would be kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place--her friend's happiness over her own. Would she try to have a secret romance or tell Lori that her boyfriend is a cheating jerk? Would she be able to live with herself if she did choose to be with Kasey?

Now, how would Lori handle things?
She would obviously be outraged that her best friend stole her boyfriend and unwilling to listen to the reasons behind it all. Would she never speak to Sue again? Likely that would devestate Sue.

In the end I preferred Lori's POV, seeing her struggle with her inner demons. So, I guess I will stick with her.

As for plot points. Firstly, I decided to link the whole story with the idea of the changing seasons, mostly fall and starting in October. So I thought I would start by a little description of how the season change and bring a change in each person, whether it is noticed or not.

I have an ending scene already in my head. The two women will be sitting on thier stoop holding their new babies and considering what had happened over the last year and how they were able to overcome it all.

I'm not sure how I'm going to do the Kasey scenes. I don't want him coming off as an uncaring jerk, because he isn't. He is just lonely and confused and in the end he will leave both women. Not sure how that will happen. I also have his entrance scene plotted. The action will start with the two women sitting on their stoop (see the circle forming) the previous year talking about Kasey as he plays with Sue's children.

There were other things I had ideas for, but my head hurts too much to work them out right this moment.
