Okay guys, I think I need some serious brainstorming, but the thing is, my brain fried at some point this weekend XD
Here's what I call my plot: I started the story at what I'll say is the "present time". Morgane, my MFC, is in a bad relationship with a nasty jerk. In the prologue, she's contacted by both her twin sister who asks for her help (while they hadn't been talking for years), and her former boss in the FBI (or something) about an old cold case not so cold anymore (and of course, she's secretly in love with that man). Later in the story, I want to write a whole mystery part about that case, a serial killer killing only twin sisters.
But for now, I'm back in the "past". I started writing my MFC's childhood just after the prologue. I've already kill their Mom in a car accident, and now, I'm gonna write how awful their Dad get after that, because he somehow thinks it's their fault. He starts drinking, and abusing them, physically first, and possibly sexually later (he's mostly awful toward the other twin). Later, for a reason I have yet to find, around their teenage years, the Dad is put to jail or whatever, and the girls are separated. And they willingly stop to see/talk to each other. After that, I think I'll go back to the 'present'.
So, my 'problem' is: As far as writing their sucky childhood help understand why my MFC is who she is, and why she was not in touch with her twin for years, I'm not completely happy about that. I wish there was something else connecting Past and Present, maybe even something that would be related to the case later on. But I just have no clue :( :( :(

Any suggestion that could help my muse?
