What I want to do....

I want to write.  Either typing or actually physically writing, ink on paper.

My problem is of course that I don't always have enough ideas to bring on the whole flow of the story.  Well, I have gotten the scrapings together of a plan in my head. My thought is to come up with an idea, then write out the story- not the finished story, but the basic flow of what happened.  Then from the story actually write what happened more real time like.  Who said what.  How the plot moved from there to here and on.  I have always liked fairy tales rewritten, so I think that I may do that.

My next assignment for myself is to read a bunch of fairy tales.  This should be easy for me since I have both the Brother's Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson's versions.  I also need to decide what will be the different factor in the story.  Will it be modern, or still set in ages past with something different.  It would be kind of neat to create a world that many of them could exist in and develop interactions between different stories characters.

Another idea I have includes the help of others who are also interested in writing.  If there were three or four of us, we could meet together and plot out the story.  Then we go our separate ways and write the story from the specific characters point of view.  After wards, we would meet more times in order to mesh the different perspectives.  I wonder if I could find people to help write a story like that.
