WIP's

Via Pinterest

I'm a person with a million ideas running through my head all clamoring for attention. I have at least 40-50 documents in my stories folder, and I have more in my brain that haven't yet found an exit through my fingers.

So, since you all may want to know what insanity might pop up on my Amazon Bookshelf, I'm going to list all the stories that have names. I'll be linking this to my Books tab, and will change it as I deem fit (you know, progress from thought to draft, from draft to editing ... adding new stories as I come up with them) Links mean that I have blog entries about the linked book.

* means that this is a project that I am actively focusing on.

First, the standalones which have to be processed individually:

Title: Mermaid Footprints
Brief Synopsis:  A companion Novella to The Ankulen set in Jen's imagination. When mermaids and mermen start disappearing, Mynna, youngest of the princesses, is the one given the job of figuring out why. Armed with a comb that gives her the ability to use human legs, she sets off across the uncharted, ever changing landscape.
Main Character(s): Mynna
Current State: I'm not far it, but I'm liking where I'm going.

Title: Cayra
Brief Synopsis: A human girl discovers that mermaids (they call themselves Cayra, though) really exist, and the Cayra princess she meets discovers the Eamals (what she calls humans)
Main Character(s): Linda (the human) and Alinda (the Cayra)
Current State: False starts. There's a document on my computer, but it only has two chapters ... and I'm not satisfied with them. I have the ending in a notebook, but an ending's no good without the beginning.
Inspiration: A dream I had about two years ago, and the fairy tale Little Mermaid.

Title: The New Division
Brief Synopsis: Four orphans from the Great Depression era find themselves in a world of elves, and in the middle of a millinias-old war.
Main Character(s): Tabetha, Melisza, Jaqob Alistaar
Current State: Has been started on the computer, but I've only scratched the surface of it's potential.
Inspiration: A random idea of a girl who has never been allowed to cut her hair ... which is actually not an issue that comes up in the book, but anyways. The second inspiration was the fact that people are no longer divided, in God's eyes, between Jew or Gentile, but whether we've accepted his son's death or not.

Title: Infiltration
Brief Synopsis: Tiger wishes to get her Ring of Faith, Snap wishes to be a successful Infiltrator. They both can't have their wish.
Main Character(s): Tiger Lilly Bunnitoes and Snap Dragon Skunktail.
Current State: Rough draft is complete, but it needs serious help.
Inspiration: My sister and I used to want to write stories about hobbits, but then we found out that they were copyrighted, so we came up with Elvings instead. Infiltration is allegorical about how the world wants to infiltrate the church and lead us astray.

Main Character(s): Anthea Jane McKazy.
Current State: Barest thoughts, although I have started it in a document on my computer.
Inspiration: Mom came up with this and told me that I need to write it. Yeeeeeah ... she does that. Not that I mind her doing so, though, because otherwise her brilliant ideas will never be published. My final form is never what she originally thought of.

Title: Jessica's Summer
Brief Synopsis: How would you react if two complete stangers come up to you, announce that they are truly your sisters, and that you are the personification of summer? Jessica doesn't bite either.

Title: HaV Academy*

Main Character(s): Part 1: Jane Bigwig. Part 2: Sarah Bigwig and Sally Jones. Part 3: the entire family.
Current State: I have four scripts floating around, but haven't begun typing it up in story format.
Inspiration: I was told to write a play for church, so I modernized the above parable and, since we were short on boys at the time, made the two sons into daughters. This spawned a series of three more Bigwig plays ... until my church was tired of the family and wanted something new. I like them very much, and would love to see them in book format someday.


Title: Stolen Ideas

Current State: Barest plans
Inspiration: My Aunt was helping us go through stuff to get rid of, and we found a set of TV antennas ... which she promptly put on her head and, after a few minutes, declared that she had just found out that our neighbors were from Mars and that they were stealing my story ideas while they're still in my head and publishing them. I didn't believe her .... but it intrigued me as a story idea.


Title: The Nutcracker's Son
Brief Synopsis: For some odd reason that I have not yet settled on, the son of Marie and the Nutcracker falls under his father's curse. Years pass and he is given as a present to Gina, who adds him to her collection ... never supposing that there might actually be something different about this nutcracker.

Title:  How to Grow Tulips in Fifty Thousand Words
Brief Synopsis: Insane Nonsense.
Main Character(s): It's supposedly written by two Silion Princesses, Elsie and Elise.
Current State: Plans. I think I may write this for a NaNo one of these years.
Inspiration: I was acting out Elsie for my sister for the development of her book, and this title popped out. It since has become a running joke for us while playacting ... and I think I might write it someday. Oddly enough, it will have very little to do with growing Tulips.

Inspiration: When the first Narnia movie came out, I was disatisfied, and decided to do a play to fix all the mistakes they made. Problem was, we didn't have sufficient boys, so I turned the four children into girls, and we didn't have a faun costume, so it became an elf ... and so on and so on and it was no longer recognizable as Narnia. Book one was inspired separately when I had a headache and was taking a shower and wondered what it would be like if I were to step into a shower and end up under a waterfall and became a prophesied Waterfall Princess ... yeah.

Planned length: It's a trilogy.
Current State: I have a document for each book on my computer, and two notebooks in my drawers. (books 1 and 2 share a notebook. One is started at the front of the notebook, two is at the back. Someday they'll meet in the middle ...)
Inspiration: I have a friend who is really into Barbie of Swan Lake and I discovered this in her notebook one day. I asked her when she was going to finish it.

Planned length: Trilogy.
Inspiration: I found the first 6 chapters on my mom's computer, which she had written back when I was really little. She hadn't touched them since, so I pulled out of her brain all the plans she had for book 1, stole the document, and continued. Oh, and I decided to add two books. Mom was going to make a standalone. I think it would be more complete as a trilogy. Book 1 is inspired by the Fruits of the Spirit. (Count dem fruits, folks, there's nine!)
Current State: I have mom's six chapters on my computer, and I've added ... half a page more. Sigh, it's hard getting into another person's writing style, even when they're your mom.
