I was telling her how sick I was of a certain obvious and overused genre trope, spouted an alternative, and realized that was exactly what the story needed.
@KevinPetker I address that subject a lot in my work on Mage: The Ascension, Deliria: Faerie Tales for a New Millennium, Wilderlost, and Powerchords: Music, Magic & Urban Fantasy, as well as in in-progress RPG projects like Aspect and Wild Hearts.
@NormBoyington Go, you! I've finished one novel under my own name, co-wrote three more in collaboration with the late Bob Weinberg, began many I never finished, and have three others in various stages of completion.

@ELChandler5 The best and most timely plot element in Red Shoes came from a chance remark I made to @damianaswan while pondering character motivations. Had I outlined that book, the idea never would have occurred to me.
@Sondi_Is_On Various short stories I'm currently writing involve protagonists named Marianna Edgedancer, Rabbit, Thunderdome, Chipper (as in "Woodchipper"), and Vulgar the Barbarian. My novel Red Shoes, though, has an MC who turned her birth name Jennifer into the much cooler Genét.
@LaurenKayzles Several characters in Red Shoes dye their hair neat colors. Protagonist Genet has purple hair.
@theoneginevra Hola, Ginevra! I'm a longtime pro author and game designer whose work typically deals with "everyday heroes" and "magic in your own back yard." I have a short fiction collection that's available in most major outlets, and my urban fantasy novel Red Shoes goes on sale next month.
