The Amazing Rando
Integral Poster
EDIT: Added basic plot outlines for each story. Just click on the titles.
As I posted here a few months ago, I finished a writing project. Then, I started a new one. I am closing in on the 30K word mark but am having, as the title of this post says, a bit of a crisis. I just have no idea if what I am working on is worth continuing in my pursuit of being traditionally published. However, as part of a new journaling project I am forcing myself to write down a new Silly Writing Idea (tm) every single day. The problem with this is that sometimes I just hit upon some bangers.
Below I will explain four of these. The first is my current project, and the other three are some I have had in the past few weeks. Vote on which you think I should put most of my time and energy into.
1. Gold Nails/Cheaper Than Divorce - Valerie Stein is a 25 year old living in NYC who earns money by doing "date counseling", taking affluent married men out on dates where they are to treat her as they would their wives. She then uses this information to decipher how to improve their marriages. After causing a local news anchor's marriage to fall apart after a strange date with her husband, she takes time off to seek a relationship for herself. She then must contend with falling for a blind date, discovering her best male friend's feelings, how much she really doesn't know about relationships, and the anchor's desires for revenge.
2. Where Jeremy Goes (the kid's name isn't that important right now) - a recently-divorced mom discovers her son's emotional stress allows him to enter a Narnia-like fantasy world. Now under the most stress she's ever experienced, she finds herself able to follow.
3. Oneymoon - Sam Harris's engagement is broken off the day before he wins a honeymoon vacation in the Caribbean. He takes the trip anyway, but a resort naming mix-up puts him on a boat to a remote hotel where everyone believes him to be the new manager because they share the same name. When the real manager, Samantha Harris, arrives...love may end up being in the air after all. I'm still debating on a B-plot.
4. Princess Was Here - A decade after a princess was rescued and finds true love, she finds herself bored with palace life and sneaks away for a day amongst the common folk. She discovers a tourism industry based around the adventure of her rescue and all of it gets everything wrong - mostly by painting her rescuer as way more of a hero than he ever was in reality, which she discovers is a ploy by the rest of her family, and her prince, to make him look as good as possible for when he becomes king in the future.
