Hey, I wanted to let everyone know that, despite what everyone may want, I'm kind of taking a break from Not So Normal. (everyone goes "awww") I'm kind of in a rut and I don't know where to go, and also with mojo gone I really feel like I'm not putting out my best work. I don't really have the motivation or the inspiration to write right now. And I'm kind of feeling under pressure because there's a lot I have to do this summer and I havent been doing it.
The thing is, I don't want to be done with the story, because I really think it could have been awesome, but I don't want to ruin it while it seems like the creative juices have stopped flowing. Well, not exactly. I keep coming up with tons of awesome ideas for stories, but when I sit down to write them it seems nothing good really comes out either. I might start working on these in the meantime to see if they'll help bring some kind of inspiration back. Tell me what you think of these two ideas.
No Title Yet
Maximum Ride is the ruthless leader of a postapocolyptic society, Corentine, which rules that no humans are to be living anymore. Ignacious Till is her mighty second in command and leader of the army. Corentine's citizens pressure that the two should marry, but Maximum doesn't particularly like the idea. While she's out on a night fly, she sees someone that catches her eye. A strong man and skilled fighter lets his attacker live, a taboo never broken on Corentine soil. She is fascinated by his mercy, but the closer she gets to him the deeper she realizes that she could be up for execution herself – he's a human. Will she overcome the pressure of a merciless society to let the man she loves live or will she give in so that she remains the powerful empress that the citizens adore?
A Ghost of Me
Based off of Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley. Fang dies, only to realize that death wasn't nearly what he thought it would be when he wakes up. A mystical guide ushers him into his "dead" life, only to face difficulty when Fang refuses to accept that he's dead. His guide tells him that this is a test to which he must pass in a short amount of time. He must find a way to tell the Flock that he isn't completely dead and that they have to find a way to reunite his spirit form with his body… wherever his body is. If they don't succeed, he will have to face a permanent death.
So honestly, I don't know when I'll start up again, but I hope it will only be a couple days or so. We'll see, but it sort of looks good since we got the desk top fixed so now I get the laptop all to myself. Hopefully I can find what I had because I don't want to give up on the story.
I'll take some advice if anyone has any; I could really use it! If I get, like, fifteen reviews for this I might just break the hiatus all together no matter what, but since I doubt that I promise to work on the problem. Take care for now.
