rough plot outlines...
here are my latest inspirations!
I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoy thinking them up! I'm so excited to get to write this stuff :]
Mister, I don’t believe in you.
Two, maybe three little girls - probably cousins or sisters, or two sisters and a cousin - meet a Magic man who reveals to them a whole new fantastical world.

When I was eight, I was sure, I was growing nerves.
A girl of fourteen describes her childhood as a freak. At the age of eight, she began to notice silvery designs on her palms, like little systems of nerves. They were excruciatingly painful to the touch - but not just to her. She hurt everyone she touched, and was taken away to be studied, and kept where she couldn't hurt anyone - herself included. She finds a way to stay positive, and be helpful to those around her. This is not a story about escaping; it is about learning to love and live with oneself. There may be others like her...I'm not sure, it's very vague right now.

We don’t want to, we don’t have to be like that.
Helena's a 20 year old with a major attitude problem - but it's only a problem for the strict rules of her society. Set sometime in the future, this story is about a girl whose previously 'perfectly normal' world was rocked by a boy named Joey Frost, when she was a teenager. Now Joey and his family are gone, and Helena was left behind by some accident. She's having to deal with her greif at the loss of the love of her life, and refuses to accept her lot in life as another sheep in the flock. She makes plans to escape her oppressive life, and when she does, she comes across challenges she'd anticipated, and challenges she never would have dreamed of. She teams up with a gang of teenagers who live outside society, with no rules or regulations. They live dangerously, always on the edge, and, though Helena would not quite want to be like them, they inspire her to set herself free. Telling you any more would give away the ending! But there may be sequels. In fact, there probably will be, I've already sort of started outlining them :)
