In addition to finding intriguing ideas I’d forgotten about (though once they were so vivid I was sure I couldn’t possibly ever forget), I also always find a few stories that (although they once felt vivid and powerful) don’t speak to me anymore.
So here are a handful of stories I’m not going to write–put out there, at the start of this new year, in case they spark something for someone else who might write them instead. 🙂
– Dragons fear gold and so must always keep it in sight
– An adventure series about a junior search and rescue group
– Daedalus’ Daughter
– A journey to the source of the river that washes illusions away
– Stealing shadows on the schoolyard (actually, I think Anne Ursu has already written this one …)
– Little House on the Red Planet (Little House on the Prairie on Mars)
– Elfland Survivor
– Seeking political asylum in Elfland
– “I’m bored. Bored bored bored bored bored bored bored. And did I mention? Bored.”
– The Sidhe in the black market baby trade
– The Gulf of How
