The Book Project...progress and planning

The original plans for The Book Project is that I am attempting to try tell a story of a chinese women who got slapped from the leader of her "group" and then left on her horse to start a new life. While she is on her journey, she goes through different towns, trying to find a place where she wants to settle. Finally, the women comes upon a trailer where a mother lives and they become very good friends. So far, the challenges that I have faced are that it is difficult for me to put all the "rules of balance" within each scene, such as proportion or emphasis. Also, the two pictures that I have chosen are hard to  make story that is easy to understand, so I am trying to make the whole story very simple and basic. However, the part of the project that is going well is that even though my story is somewhat basic, it is also creative. I thought very hard on how to make a good story, and I think the outcome is going to turn out well.
