Not sure. Could it be about writing a novel and getting it published in the NYT? Or perhaps discovering a new author through the NYT? You'll need to clarify for a better response.
It could be that there was some kind of malfunction on the ship she was traveling in. For example, if the navigation system failed, the ship might have drifted off course and she could have fallen overboard during the chaos. Also, human error like someone on the ship not paying enough attention to her presence near the edge could have led to her being lost at sea.
It could be that a man loses his beloved dog which he has had for years. He posts flyers all over the town. A woman sees the flyer and decides to help. They spend days together searching for the dog. During this time, they discover they have a lot in common. They talk about their pasts, their dreams, and slowly they realize they are falling in love. And in the end, they may or may not find the dog, but they have found each other.
The main theme could be about love and self - discovery. Since it's a love story set during a lost weekend, the characters might be exploring their feelings for each other while also dealing with some sort of 'lost' state, like being lost in the chaos of the weekend or lost in their own insecurities.
The theme might also be about growing up and facing difficulties. Losing Delimar could be a major setback for the little girl. Through her attempts to deal with this loss, she might learn important lessons about life, like how to be brave in the face of challenges, how to accept things that are out of our control, and how to keep hope alive even when things seem tough. The story could show her transformation from a naive girl to a more resilient one through this experience of losing Delimar.
I think the themes could be quite diverse. The lost book could symbolize a lost opportunity, so opportunity and missed chances could be a theme. Additionally, the 'other stories' might touch on themes like friendship. For example, friends might come together to search for the lost book, and in the process, their friendship is strengthened or tested. It could also explore themes of identity, as the characters' search for the lost item might make them question who they are and what they value.
It could be a drama. Given the theme of a lost girl in Hollywood, there's likely to be a lot of emotional turmoil and complex relationships which are typical of dramas.
Farmers are likely to be involved. They are the ones who usually deal with roosters and might be interested in having a contest about their roosters' size.
It could be that Lillie discovers some secrets about Gladion's past that make her understand why he left. And she might have to face some powerful enemies who are related to Gladion's past or current situation. This would be a story of Lillie's growth and her journey to reunite with Gladion.
