So, hello everyone! Nice to type to you again! I'm gonna make this post short and sweet, just so I don't bore you guys to death and so I can go to sleep since it's only like, 10:53 right now and I need to get up early.

Moving on. So as I sat at my coffee table doing homework, (which was actually pretty easy) thoughts ran through my head of writing a new novel/short story/novelette piece of literature. The only thing is, I can't think of a plot, so that's where you come in!

Since I'm brain dead right now, I'm just asking of you to brainstorm with me a good plot to a book. Don't make it all about weird shadow people and witches and wizards and crap, but like real life events and things, just with a twist.

So please, keep it simple, but not really bland and stale. I'm open to anything that's related to real word events, and possibly like super powers or something, just don't make it crazy like I've said already.

A young boy who lives with his cruel uncle, aunt, and cousin Diddly discovers that he is a wizard and must attend a wizard academy while fighting an evil wizard called Boldycort.

...

Okay, here's the serious one. A young man (or woman) lives in a small village in South America, but a drug war begins in the surrounding area with the village at its heart. The US Military can't get in to help them evacuate, so a militia is formed and the protagonist joins, only to be taken hostage by the enemy. Pretty much about survival, escape, and trying to protect his/her loved ones.

I made that up on the spot so sorry it it sucks

Oh, oh, oh! I write stories too! It's fun. So, here's an idea.
A normal girl just turned sixteen, but suddenly, wierd things are happening. Wierd, as in, when she sings, people drop to the ground asleep. When she's near water, mist that she can contol comes up around her. And finally and most horrifyingly, if she screams, she break anything. Including bones.
This story can be played as a horror, or as a 'What's happening to me?' story about a girl with odd abilities but a normal life.
And finally, for the title. Title idea: Soundspell.
If you don't like it, you don't have to use it.

A woman pilot during World War II is sick of being treated like some second-class, noob with no skills at all. In order to better help her country and its allies, she disguises herself as a man and swiftly gains the attention of her superiors. Somebody discovers her identity, but simply sending her home would cause riots. This woman has proven that she is just as good as any man. So they attempt to kill her. The woman is shot down but survives, and must find a way to save herself and stand up for all other pilots who are considered second class (ex. anybody who isnt white, and young)
