Boredom as story starters update

Some stories I started out of pure boredom, such as:
  • "Guilt" (formerly a one-shot that I hoped to continue past the one-shot stage... but I still have some slight plotline issues)
  • "After His Last Case" (originally a one-shot I wrote one night when struggling to sleep, but I wanted to see where it went, so I continued it)
  • "Shower Intruder" (I was just bored and thought it'd be funny to write, but I'd been considering writing it for a while)
  • "Chem Is Try: A Christmas Carol Spoof" (I was bored in my AP US History class the last day before winter vacation my junior year of high school, so I satirized my chemistry teacher)
  • "Curtis Watches TV" (again, I wanted to write something funny while just bored)
  • "Fool of a Took" (I was bored one night my first year of college while watching TMZ, and they interviewed Billy Boyd that night, so I was inspired to write this story)
  • "Hey Norman" (again, I wanted to write something funny while just bored)
  • "Mr. B. and the Motel" (I was wasting time before going to a basketball game in college, but I didn't want to do homework)
  • "Paint" (I tuned my friends out one day at lunch in high school to write this... I'm such a bad friend)
  • "Snow" (I was up late one Saturday night, but I didn't feel like going to sleep or watching SNL)
  • "The Janitor's Name" (another one-shot I wrote one night while trying to fall asleep)
  • "Tobias" (I was bored one New Year's Eve while waiting for the Time's Square ball drop and related TV shows to come on, so I decided to start this)
  • "Two Brothers, Plus One?" (another one-shot that I wanted to continue if I came up with a solid plot... and now has become a multi-chapter story)
  • "Ways to Pass the AP US History Exam" (my friends and I were bored one day during one of the review class periods in AP US History, so they started writing this on the chalkboard, and I copied it down because it was so funny)
  • "Tamia" (I'm pretty sure I wrote this out of boredom the same evening as "Mr. B. and the Motel." I had just started the first Crank book, and I was inspired by one of my high school buddies)

A new idea... sort of.

I'm considering writing a new story for FanFic with my characters from the Wizard 101 online game. I'm not sure what the plot would be, but I'm still considering doing a story about them.
My three characters:
  • Taryn Lionflame, Theurgist (School of Life), female, lead character
  • Kiley Pearlthorn, Thaumaturge (School of Ice), female
  • James Dawnheart, Pyromancer (School of Fire), male

Something I'm considering

I'm thinking about starting to write parts 2, 3, and 4 of "One Wizard's History" in addition to the one I'm already writing. I have an idea of what to write for each one, but I don't know if I want to wait to finish the first one to write the rest of them.

Chapters in progress... sort of.

I'm not actually writing new chapters for "Carols of Christmas: A Dickensian Tale" (yet), but here's a list of future chapters (still in the planning phase, mild spoiler alerts):
  • 3 - 5 chapters narrated by the Ghost of Christmas Past (spoiler: {definitely} one with Jeanie, one with his sons, and one extra chapter just before leaving his home; {possibly} one or two with the trial)
  • 1 chapter narrated by Little Fan (spoiler: one with Fred)
  • 1 chapter narrated by Bob Cratchit (spoiler: one with his father)
  • 4 chapters narrated by Jacob Marley (spoiler: one with  Dora, one with Nathan, one with his brother-in-law; death scene)
  • 1 chapter narrated by Fred (spoiler: one chapter with his father)
