what if ...okay so for the divine intervention one:<br /><br />what if gabby is an angel detective and she ends up meeting this guys rafe. (i think he should be human) anyways, he was having his own problem, and together they work on it. but then gabby gets this emergency call from her detective boss and has to go. when rafe asks her why she like ends up telling him that she is an angel. then he helps her go on the quest thingy and rafe realizes what a huge crush he has. but then he's like, "but's she's an angel and i can't date an angel!" but eventually they find a way to be together!<br />yes cliche but i have to start somewhere! i'll keep thinking though and try and come up with more. this is a lot of fun!!!Kaitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353692496141644472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-74145183283332980362010-11-03T14:32:21.738-05:002010-11-03T14:32:21.738-05:00you got it!!! let me see.... :-)you got it!!! let me see.... :-)Kaitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353692496141644472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-37531731360369310782010-11-03T14:28:43.868-05:002010-11-03T14:28:43.868-05:00Lol, Kaitlyn.

Maybe by the time we get this all sorted out, I'll have it down. Medieval. Medieval. Medieval.<br /><br />Kaitlyn, I like "Invisibly Yours." Ties in with Gabby's real life as well. It also goes along with Cherry's thoughts about invisibility.<br /><br />Jazmine, I like your thoughts about the Gabrielle/Rafe/Prince thing. The guy she likes in real life (the one who has a thing for her best friend) is someone who she wishes she didn't like, who she thinks needs to be taken down a notch or two. I think in Gabby's writing life, she would definitely write it as Rafe having a crush on her, and her not being interested at all.<br /><br />I hope all that made sense. I went about 20 rounds tonight with my 3-year-old about her attitude and why I was having to take her juice away. I'm feeling a bit brain dead at the moment.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-44653352338811563372010-11-02T20:53:31.505-05:002010-11-02T20:53:31.505-05:00I still like the diary & medieval idea.

(and yes I had to type this word up like four times before I spelled it right haha)<br /><br />Another good medieval title idea I think would be something along the lines of "Charming, or Best friend?" <br />Or! what Kaitlyn said I really like that title idea too. "Princes, Peasants, and a Princess?" You could even change it up a bit and make the Princes and Peasants non-plural.<br />Brainstorming is fun!<br />I think it'd be an interesting tale to have Gabby write about Gabrielle as a heiress and Rafe having a crush on her and she has a crush on the Prince deal. :)Jazmine~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06246960020080246030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-35099284489064294892010-11-02T16:17:13.911-05:002010-11-02T16:17:13.911-05:00I like the idea of Gabby writing her book like a d...I like the idea of Gabby writing her book like a diary and having it almost opposite to whats happening in real life. Through her life and the book she is writing it could help her on her journey to know God.<br /> I also had the idea that in real life she could be ignored. Which made me think the book could be called<br /><br />The Invisible<br /><br />(I thought you could always wwrite the 'visble' in Invisble a different colour because it's like she starts as invisible but changes.)<br />Then when she gets to know God it all changes and she relizes popularity and money isn't everything.<br /><br />I came up with this as an opening line<br /><br />Uhh I've hardly had a chance to write in her all week I've been soooooo busy...<br /><br />Of course we all know this isn't true and that she's actually been sitting at home all week.<br />Random ideas but I thought i would put them out there.<br />I hope that all makes sense.<br /><br />I hope I helped, and I'm sure whatever you do will be fantastic:-)Cherrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-38909300663489341032010-11-02T15:42:06.012-05:002010-11-02T15:42:06.012-05:00What about "Princes, Peasants, and a Princess...What about "Princes, Peasants, and a Princess?" or "Love Him, Don't Love Him" (like when you pick flower petals to see whether or not you like a guy, even though technically it is vice versa)"Invisibly Yours," (because she has a crush on the prince but the prince doesn't know who she is)<br /><br />i'm still thinking though.... :-)Kaitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353692496141644472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-53619480607068585312010-11-02T15:28:08.577-05:002010-11-02T15:28:08.577-05:00Ok medieval (yes it took me a while to get the spe...Ok medieval (yes it took me a while to get the spelling right) names....

And she goes through all this stuff (what exactly I don't know) but eventually gets in then conversation with Rafe. Rafe tells her how he has finally come to realize the Jesus is a King. And how Rafe is the son of a king. Anyways, it gets Gabby to thinking, "that means I am a daughter of a king, which makes me princess." so then she realizes that being queen to this prince and having money and whatever isn't wha life is about. and she never loved he prince, just loved the thought of owning the kingdom so to speak. then she realizes that she really loves rafe. i have no idea if that made any sense but just a thought. <br /><br />but i also like the one here gabby's writing the life she wishes was hers.<br /><br />for Rafe's last name i really like Greyson.Kaitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353692496141644472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-18029645044074197442010-11-02T13:23:01.034-05:002010-11-02T13:23:01.034-05:00Yes, me again. ;-) FYI, the working title of the a...Yes, me again. ;-) FYI, the working title of the above was "Shattered Like the Truth."

Could go along very well with what Cina, Kaitlyn, and Bebs (right?) suggested about Gabby using Gabrielle to solve problems in her real life.<br /><br />Mary, in all fairness to you, I think this is the first time I've ever posted on a Monday. Actually, I'd scheduled the post for today, but then I got WAY too excited and posted yesterday instead.<br /><br />And, actually, I don't think your idea is lame at all!

It sounds like an awesome pitch to me, so I sure hope your editor takes it. <br /><br />I've been racking my mind for an opening mind for an opening line, and the ones I've come up with are pretty lame, but here's one that I thought wasn't so bad, "That saying 'friends are like flowers' made me laugh; my friends were more like dandelions. The prettiest weeds, that take over your life and you can't get rid of." Eh, so lame! <br /><br />Good luck thinking!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710084386989277416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-32094525040665065042010-11-02T10:45:55.789-05:002010-11-02T10:45:55.789-05:00*If* you decided to go with a supernatural gift of...*If* you decided to go with a supernatural gift of some kind, I had the thought (okay, stolen from the Crazy Idea concept I came up with last year that we could co-write, ha ha) that she could have an ability to know the Truth--as in, tell when anything isn't true (think human truth serum/lie detector), though she might not always know what IS, unless she hears it. It would be a nice off-set to her honesty problem in real life. Which could hit her at some point, when she realizes that it isn't only about knowing when someone lying to YOU, but also whether YOU'RE being truthful with others that matters.Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.com
