I have an IDEA, but nothing has come of it yet, really. So far that's all it is, a plan... that, and two measly little paragraphs (they really are small paragraphs). Alright, so, I'd like someone to please suggest something, or... I don't know. What do you guys think of the scheme?
Serafina Redbird, a gypsy, kills a band of robbers in revenge after they kill her cousin. She was traveling with her cousin and in the night they killed him and tried to slit her throat too, but she ended up murdering them. Now this is her diary of what happened, what happens now as she's on trial, etc. (Don't worry, this is not how I'd write out the plot! It's just explaining) I call it The Seventh Twilight--supposedly it happened on the seventh night of them traveling in the desert--but of course I'll probably change it several times over the course of writing the book. The tone, since a diary and her speaking, will be sarcastically humorous and yet bitter. Sassy and rebellious. It still is a fantasy because of the world setting, and I will be weaving in fantasy characters and creatures.
Thanks! ~~Silhouette

I think it's a rather good idea, and very much different from any of the books of read before. Fantasy is always a fun element to weave in, so have fun with that lol. As far as the title, would that be relating to night, as far as Twilight goes? All in all, it sound s to me as if you wouldn't really need anything else, the plot is good, the scheme is fine with me. It's good.

It's a great idea, in my opinion. I like how it's in the format of a journal, while it isn't just the journal. But I think it would really work out if you put a little something at the beginning and end, just kind of introducing and resolving everything.
Either way, it gets two thumbs up from me.

Hey, thanks for the advice! I like the idea of a piece at the beginning and ending that explain more... maybe, however, as a prologue and an epilogue?
I've done some slight editing to put in fantasy, plus a bit with the plot and just adding on major details. So I'm hoping it will come together!
