| | I was reading this fanfic the other day (HP, of course), and there was this line that just really JUMPED out at me. It was Harry asking Dumbledore if he was the his (Dumbledore's) apprentice and he (Dumbledore again) was his master.
A lot of 'he's and 'his's, there...
Anyways, for some reason, I thought 'This guy should have named this chapter Master and Apprentice' if he was going to go on for another three thousand words about their new relationship!' And that really stuck with me.
'Master and Apprentice'
Then, you'll never believe this, I closed my laptop, grabbed my towel and headed for the shower.
Wierd, right?
I've just got this new idea, and I head for the shower? But, then again, it helps me think. And, did I think!
When I came out, I typed into my Story Ideas page the following summary.
The Apprentice--When his master died, he was given a mission--find Blackwood and wait. Now Apprentice Nicolas searches all over Tierra searching for this Blackwood, meeting new people, and find along the way that everything is never as it first seems, and that sometimes we have to fight to make our dreams come true.
That was about two weeks ago. To that summary I've added character names (spent a week just looking for the perfect name for the Apprentice), and, of course, plot ideas (at one point I wasn't going to name Nicolas anything until the very end of the story). I've also done a lot of research and day dreaming so that I have a lot things ready for this new story.
Obviously, it is going to be an original story (and my dream is that once it is finished, I'll send it to get published and it'll be on the best seller's list, and I'll get interviewed by Oprah, and people will be begging for more....Told you I've been day dreaming). And obviously, it won't be happening on Earth.
I've made up my own little world called Tierra. To go with something our pastor has been preaching--Tierra Deseable. Read Malachi 3 towards the end where God says that He'll bless us by making us a desirable land-but read that part in Spanish.
Tierra Deseable.
It was my own personal joke.
And then the names of two characters-Abelard and Cain.
Who knows what I'm talking about? First murderer in the Bible? Ring a bell?
Yeah, brothers Cain and Abel (have you noticed that Adam and Eve were the first humans and yet, when Cain leaves after killing Abel, he goes and finds a city and marries [I think], and yet Cain and Abel were Adam and Eve's first children? does that mean he went and married his own siblings? INCEST ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!), I put them in there.
No, it won't be a Christian book...or maybe it will be, just...think of C.S. Lewis, k? Think of Lewie. I'm going to have my fun by putting in these little (TINY) things that people will notice immediately, and criticize me on.
And I'll do it with a smile! :D
