Hi Jack,
I can help you get started on your story with definitions to the words you listed above. Below the definitions, I have also added some tips for getting started on your story. All definitions are from the Merriam Webster Learners Dictionary.
melodramatic: emotional in a way that is very extreme or exaggerated
This is an adjective, a describing word.
onset: the beginning of something
This is a noun, a thing.
plausible: possibly true : believable or realistic
This an an adjective, a describing word.
reluctantly: not willing or eager to do something
This an an adverb, a describing word that describes an action.
static: showing little or no change, action, or progress
This an an adjective, a describing word.
In your story can you describe the onset (beginning) of something? As this is a belief story, it could be the beginning of a belief or a changed way of living, acting, or behaving. Is there something that you or a character reluctantly chose, did, gave up, or believed? If you describe something as melodramatic in your story, that means that the reaction is exaggerated. Many people do not like melodramatic reactions, so others reacting negatively to the melodrama might be part of your story. Alternatively, your story may include a character who reacts melodramatically for a purpose. You could then write about whether the emotion of the person behaving melodramatically seemed plausible --believable. Last, you can write about whether belief is static (unchanging) or not static. Support that statement with the evidence you include in your story.
I hope that answer gets you started on your story. If you found it helpful, please upvote it.
