parallax23I've been on the fence about the NaNoWriMo competition. I thought I was doing The Anaxarete Cycle (an old story sketch from my high school days featuring a girl who becomes an assassin, Greek tragedy style). Then the strangest thing happened yesterday, I had read a sappy story and decided to write my first happy ending ever (usually my stories end with everyone dying or something not quite here nor there).
I'm not sure how it came to me, but I got hit with the idea to write a story about a fairy godmother in training whose final test goes awry. I googled it to see if the story had been done before, and it sort of has (no story is truly original and all that jargon). However, what I'm planning to do is not the same plot and has some significant differences that makes it mine. I haven't got all of it together yet, but it's a free-write, which I haven't done in a long time and don't care about stuff outside of that basic plot. Secondly, I only came up with it late last night... LOL
We'll see how far I get and whether or not I'll post it on FictionPress.
My DA stuff is currently on hold for November, though I'm writing whenever I can to finish After Life and Between the Lines.
