Fractured Fairy Tales...



Maybe you could try writing your own fractured fairy tale. Just choose a classic fairy tale that you are familiar with. Now fracture the fairy tale. Insert a new main character; you, a character from your work in progress, a new character you just dreamed up, or a friend, neighbor, child or dog you know. Rewrite the tale quickly, but make the reactions of the main character true to who he is instead of making him simply be a puppet to voice the original text. Allow your story to drive off the map and head for destinations unknown. Have fun with this!!
Go to Chatting About Books to hear some great recommendations for fractured fairy tales you can read : o )
