I have to actually write it first! LOL. I might post it when its, say, in its second draft or something. Will let you know

I wanna know whether Zero is posted anywhere too! It sounds familiar somehow...

What I'm writing right now, Debunking the Fantasy, kind of stemmed out of a breakup I recently had, where I think my ex had unrealistic expectations for what's supposed to happen when you're in a relationship with someone.

Everybody thinks that relationships can be like the movies, and they can't.

That is why I'm "debunking the fantasy" of how things are supposed to happen.

A fantasy/thriller I'm "writing" now (I have a few ideas and have written the Prologue) called House of Wolves was inspired by the My Chemical Romance song of the same name. I like to write things from song titles, I find some of them interesting and you can have loads of different ideas from just one song.

I always get these sudden flashes of a great plot that could become a reallyawsome book! so, I go home and I write about it, and write about it, and write about it! then, i go to bed and dream up some more things that could happen. Then, in the morning, I get up and and what I thought of during the night to my story. I then make a good copy of it, and, while writting the good copy, I add more to it! Brilliant! It always works for me!!

I honestly don't know exactly how I got the idea for Fleet. I think it had something to do with subconsciously thinking about all the political stuff going on in the US and me not really feeling like I can trust our government. Not that I think it's as bad as it is in the story, it's just exaggerated feelings. So somehow I got a vague idea of the CIA secretly dumping toxic waste in this parallel world, whose inhabitants start coming into our world and killing innocent people. And gradually it evolved into Fleet. It's coming along nicely, and i'm very excited about it.

The Oz series by L. Frank Baum inspired ALB (I'll be putting it up soon). I think, since I started reading the books (it's only been a month and I've read just about all of them, I think) it's influenced my writing heavily. My characters think like Baum's do. I even borrow his idea of a fairyland with no war or money.

I've never read Baum's books, but that sounds like you could do all kinds of things with it!

The book I'm writing... (well... editing, actually,) came from a night last June when I couldn't sleep. A ballad simply fell out of the air and into my lap, and I wrote it down. The next day, a story sprang from it, and I struggled with the first few chapters for the next six months. Then I took the NaNoWriMo challenge, and Eureka! 'Tis finished!

Dreams. Actually, it was at least three different dreams (one of which was a rather nasty nightmare). I love dreams ^_^.

whatever i write now is sure to be influened by Lemony Snicket's writings—it's driving me crazy!!!

My fascination with people with mental abilities. I've learned all about how it's done and still cant do it myself *annoyed*

We all have latent mental capabilites. It's the mutations in our genes and the variation of proteins that allow some people to use their abilites. If we looked at their DNA we coiuld loacte the variation and use it to influesnce the rest of the population. Not that it would be a good thing.

What a minute. What was the topic?

Gypsie Eyes came from several scraps of ideas melded together. I had a dream about one of the characters, Boom, when I was about fifteen, and ever since he was just sort of a constant companian in my head. I also made up a lot of little stories (just for me, not in seriousness) about being sort of "stalked" by a guy I had known in childhood who would sweep me off to a great adventure: that evolved into Karenna and Avarn. I'm not sure where my magic system came from, but the Gypsies came from my facination with their counterparts in Hunchback of Notre Dame :blush:. Then it all just sort of fell together and...there you are! *lame ending alert*

The current, untitled ghostyverse story was actually inspired bt the scary book I had to read for class. I decided to write a happier, funny, non-scary ghost story so that I would stop being so freaked out.

Randomly, another 2am was inspired by ... The Vampire Lestat. (Yeah, whoda thunk it?)

When I realized how talented I was in writing, I was in the fifth grade. We had an assignment where we were to write a mystery story. Well when I started to write I had so many ideas in my head, and the next thing I knew I was finished with five pages cover front and back with my story.

I never really did any writing after that until last year around October. I had been thinking about writing for a long time before that though. I think who really inspired me to start writing was my 7th and 8th grade literature teacher. When I went into her class I didn't even want to look in the direction of a book let alone read it. But at the end of two years I was out of there and read any book that I could get my hands on.

Right now I am writing a fantasy story, and another non-fiction book called Sweeter With Time (which needs a lot of editing). My fantasy story came out of my daydreams, which I finally got written down on paper. As for the non-fiction one...it has to do with my gymnastics career, and all of the obstacles I've had to over come. Most of it is actually out of diary entries, that I wrote down, when I was sad or mad to make myself feel better.

The voices handed me Gwen's head on a platter.

Um, not quite the way you're thinking.

Uh... Well, for Bound for Glory: Our Brethren, it was spawned purely by speed writing. It was weird, like after so many years not being involved with the 18th C., something primal or whatever came forth and then it all just went downhill from there. The rekindling of my love of the war and the 1700s in general has become so involved that now I'm in the beginning stages of re-enacting HM's Army; Burgoyne being my General in 1777. So yeah... All spawned from a short story.

As for my new novel, Full Bloods vs. Half Breeds, that came to me in a dream as well, and one that haunted me for the remainder of the night and into the following twenty-four hours prior.

My other that needs to be revamped is my Mayflower novel - Memento Mori. The voice is just weird. Anyway, this one was brought on by my good friend who re-enacts the 24th Regiment in the British Army. We both have a decendant that were passesngers on the Mayflower. I thought it would be highly amusing to take on his ancestor - Francis Eaton as my main character - and also incorperate my own grandfather along with all the other passengers. Thus far Eaton has suffered a near broken arm and has at the moment a dieing boy resting next to him. I suppose my habits from Bound have followed me into the 17th C. Sam says I'm not a very nice writer, lol!
