But I'm pretty excited about the novel itself, so I'll be sticking with it (not to mention, I don't have a YA idea in mind at the moment!).

Cinderella story in a way, but still a romance. I don't read a lot of romance (so I don't know WHY I get these ideas in my head) and knowing me, it could very well start out as a romance and end up with Harper on the high seas battling pirates or something. I just have this tendency to go for the fantastic. And a really bad thing might happen - I might look down at what I'm writing and suddenly see that the love interest is looking kind of sparkly in the sunlight ... But, you've just given me an idea. I wouldn't be able to weave a fantasy element into it, but I might be able to weave it into a mystery, which would inspire me almost as much. Thanks, Jill! That never occurred to me. I'll have to think about it a bit more. The problem with Harper is that it’s a romance. Cinderella story in a way, but still a romance.
