So to get back in writing I decided to rewrite an old story. I am ten and a half chapters in but rather than proceeding to finish it, I wanna stop and rewrite it. and I just realized I have no idea about the full plot.

Okay so here is the story, this girl gets accepted into an academy for the gifted. It is very vague in what they mean by gifted but she gets into it. So in one chapter she is in class but she cannot read what is in the textbook

And when I think about it, it makes no sense but then it kind of does. I want her to be the character that you know asks questions that no one wants to answer and so they try to keep her hidden from the true nature of the academy. But it makes no sense because the other students who get accepted were once like her and now they are able to tread these books with this weird content in another language. So for that I am trying to figure out why they would not teach her specifically what the textbooks read.

That is one problem with the plot. Another is that when I started getting to the last few chapters before I stopped completely I did kind of write some of the plot into the character talking. But even now it makes no sense.

I, myself have no freaking clue what the true nature of this academy is as I am making it up as I go along but I want it to make sense. And in a conversation one character told the main character that the students were brainwashed as it is part of the curse with the academy. The students have different eye colors.

I am so glad i am rewriting this. None of this makes sense and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to improve these certain plot holes of my story. Some suggestions or ideas on what to do. I like the curse idea but I just don't know what the curse would be, how it would tie into the textbooks being in a foreign language, why only the main character would be the only student they hide it from when they took her into the academy as well.

I think i want to take out the different color and brainwashed thing out though. I think a curse is good enough.

I think you mean their.

But anyways it's an interesting thought but see the students are just regular people not actually people with gifts or magical abilities that they had to come to the academy to learn how to use them.

That's a start. the principal and the staff of the academy know about the curse and what it is. Okay i think i got something. The academy has been in the principal's family for generations and it's a family curse that he now wants to spread to people who attends the academy.

That sounds okay. I still can't think what the curse would be though.

You mean like the text is a code about something that has to do with the curse? Now that you bring ti up I'm starting to see how I can tie your first comment with this. The text will be in another language but it will be for students to get special abilities and the classes are for them to learn and control them. And yeah the curse can be if they use it in ways that goes against the curse then something bad will happen.
