Possible original idea
I have a possible idea for a original story. Now, it was inspired by trailers for a few TV shows. The shows that inspired this are manly The Good Wife and Army Wives. Although I only realized that AW influenced this after I thought about it. And now that I think about even more, probably the influx of Kennedy memories and the trailer for Accidentally on Purpose probably effected it too.
In this story, there is a Senator (Junior and relatively new to the position...say 35ish). Possibly named Mark Stratford (Gah, will have to change that. At least the last name. I like the name Mark. Stratford is a little too close to Sanford...Another thing I didn't realise till later). Anyway, he is married to Kathleen (tentative name *Please tell me that's not Sanford's wife...I will be very unhappy with myself if It is*). He goes out with some friends one day, gets drunk and gets involved with another woman. Now he regrets it, but it drastically effects his marriage. Kathy decides to divorce him, and they actually do get divorced. Now, the plan is that Mark ends up re-wooing Kathy after the divorce since he knows he still loves her, and she still loves him even though very hurt by the cheating. Originally the idea was that she'd find out she's pregnant after the divorce was finalized but I don't know where they will be from or what the divorce laws there will be. But the two of them being together for the baby is what led them to trying out a second time. That and Kathy's very Catholic mother (Its a Mama Todd Syndrome. All my mothers seem to be Catholic for some reason)
Yes, its a romance. I'm a romantic. I'd could write a war novel and it would be more romance then battles.
But the question is...is it a viable idea for a fic. Can I write that out to be enough? Possible Nano fic?
