Well, I know this is said a lot, but I've just found that it works for me. Write what you know. If you know mythology, write something with mythology in it. If you know horses, write horses. And so on. For the book I am currently writing, I found that all the notes I'd written previously fit together with something I'd be trying to write for ages. I started with four names and made different personalities for them. I wrote a couple random pages to get the feel of each character and then I just started playing with a story from there. Right now the plot I'm writing is about all these kids who create an army with a bunch of mythical creatures to stop the war between three different countries. It's more complex then that, but that is a brief overview. Write what you know and like. That's all I can say

pippin says that Stravaig would have to be a grey Aztecan mare(meaning a grey female horse) and she has no idea who would play Jason. But if Bo was in it make sure I'm on set to get her hair right.
