The last time I was at the library, I picked up Furies of
Calderon by Jim Butcher in an effort to get the kiddo to read something new. Plus, Jim Butcher is one of my favorite
authors. I told the kiddo the author was
challenged to write something based on the ideas of Pokemon and the Roman
legion – two things my kiddo loves.
On Monday night, I had a friend over while I was helping the
kiddo get his reading log done. I told
my friend the same story about how the book was written and she thought it was
pretty neat. Somehow, the conversation
turned into a challenge of our own.
Each of us now has to write a story in a week based on two
ideas chosen by the others. I ended up
with Clowns and Romance. This is how my
thought process went after I was given my topics…. Clowns, really? I hate you guys. I hate clowns. Hey, maybe my romance can be about killing
clowns. Alright! Let’s write!
I haven’t written the story yet. It will probably happen on Saturday or Friday
night. Whenever I get the time to sit
down and write. But I love the idea of
throwing two completely different ideas together and getting a story out of
them.
