After a couple of years of devising an outline for my novel I have decided to take a break. I have so many different ideas I feel I need to clean house before I continue my novel. I havn't really ever done this on DA, but I am going to upload two new story ideas. I figured, since my profile says I am a fantasy writer I better get with the program. My finals in college have ended and I now have a three week vacation. Since I now have a lot of time I will be writing quite a bit. Each part of the story will be written in chapters or "arcs" until finished.
My first story I am calling "The game I play". This idea actually came to me while playing Persona 4 and watching Higurashi, AKA "When they cry". It revolves around John Kennedy (No, not the president.) who is tricked into betting his life in a game devised by a demon. After being taken to the village known as Salem, he must survive for one week with the residents. With each passing day the village becomes more dangerous, and the people more twisted.
"Have you ever looked back and wondered whether your life was worth living? There wasn't a single day were I didn't ask that question. For years I dragged myself out of bed wondering what my life actually meant. It took a chance meeting with a demon to teach me what to live for. Rolling the dice with my life for the amusement of devils child; that is the game I played."
My second story which I have yet to refine will be called "Fates wish". It will be about a little girl (No name yet.) who was orphaned when both her parents died in a robbery. She is shunned by other children and hated by adults for her unusual habits. The only thing she loves is a doll that she found by the road side. One day she is visited by the youngest sister of fate who inhabits her doll. The doll grants her an old pair of scissors that can change fate. She embarks on a quest to stop her parents death, but learns that changing fate has a price worse than death.
I will be steadily working on each story and post the chapters as I finish them.
I wish you all Merry Christmas, and happy holidays.

That sounds amazing. I too am outlining a novel. I'm almost done and ready to start writing, but yeah, it took like a year to get to the idea I have now. I love the fact that your character is named after a president lol
