Hey Rosie... I was thinking about your story problem. What if you suddenly had your heroine kidnapped by aliens and taken on a galactic tour? Wouldn't her diary be more interesting? Or kidnapped by rogue Russian spies who think she holds some secret, or something? Do you have to keep it to "diary of a person who doesn't do much exciting"?
Or kill her and have the diary continued by her more-interesting sibling.
Well...that was the original idea. Of course, this being NaNoWriMo, I COULD do something completely insane, but that wasn't the original plan.
I did plan to have her meet Mr. Right, but other than that, was going to have her be fairly normal.
It's still early enough that I COULD probably even trash the whole idea and start over, but I dunno how.
