What do you mean by a plot line?

Like what direction to go with it. I only found one "ghost" idea I like so far and I am not creative to come up with anything on my own. This is the one I found:
A smart, level-headed young woman, straight out of college with some ridiculous science degree - like nuclear fission or something - buys an old Victorian house in seriously good condition for seriously cheap in the town of the grad school she's attending. The place has been abandoned for a long time and everyone in town thinks she's crazy for buying because - duh - it's haunted!
The ghost is a sullen ticked off male around the MC's age who's determined to keep the house for himself. He tries to scare her away, but our MC is an unflappable scientist who is equally determined to stay because she got a seriously good deal on it and it's not like anyone would buy it if she sold it anyway. Thus ensues a battle of wills between the ghost and the young woman, not helped buy a crazy guy in town who's obsessed with ghosts, but too chicken to break into the house by himself. So naturally he befriends the MC immediately to gain access to the ghost who is less than amused by him.

Maybe the crazy guy who is obsessed by the ghost is actually the one who killed him 20 years before and he is afraid that the MC will figure all that out being in the house where the murder happened. So he wants to get close to the MC to keep an eye on her. The ghost, on the other hand, is trying his best to lead the MC to clues that will bring his killer to justice. What do ya think?

I like! Then they fall in love? or too cheesy?
 
That new damper is WONDERFUL. The whole stinking contraption that was in there before is gone. It's a simple chain to pull now, instead of a lever to fight.

The house reeks from the paint, but that will go away.

Yup, Michelle! They are done. They figured it would take 3-4 hours. That's just about what it took.

Sump pump is working nicely. The lawn can sure use the water, too! It's moving quite a lot of water, but will still take 6-8 hours, at least, to drain the pool. I don't think I'll let it do the whole thing today. I'd rather let the water soak into the yard over 2-3 days time.

Yup, about 3 page single spaced a day. Not too bad, when you figure that you aren't expected to edit your writing that month or even revise it too much. You're really just knocking out the first draft.
