(Mood: Light/dark comedy/independent/whimsical feel)
Margot attempts suicide. But fails.
She is depressed, she has no where to go, nothing to do. She is bored with life.
She picks up a book of her mom's, and starts reading it.
It is a self-help book. A sentence pops up and inspires her.
She begins to put it into action in her life.
She stops herself when she begins to think negatively, she becomes more understanding with people, and her irrational mother.
She meets a guy. They become great friends. He makes her a better person. He sees the light she was unable to show to others.
She becomes more and more independant and more and more driven.
She is a confident woman.
She decides to start a journalism career. She pursues that and later realizes that it will cause her to leave her now boyfriend.
They struggle.
She decides that she needs to go. They try to pursue a long-distance relationship.
It doesn't work out, but she feels content with herself, and writes about it in a magazine(or blog?) that she works for.
Think about:
What obstacles will she encounter?
Suspenseful events?
Build up?
What is the audience waiting for?
How to accomplish it little by little, with frustrations and happy endings?
This is REAL-LIFE
