Love the ideas thus far. Regrettably this will have to be November Research Month for me, for I recently acquired a dose of creative constipation and have not yet received ex-lax for it.
But my novel, which is partially planned, is a revision of Antigone, plus some other related plays, or parts of them. I am bringing in new plot events, exploring the past relationships between the sibs, and adding new dimensions to the conflicts. Plus, oh yeah, magical realism! Enjoying the hell out of this baby, which is awesome because my last exploded into a chaotic mess. And I think it will help that I've got half a plot laid out for me.
Yay!
