This is the idea I was talking about in the BMS thread last night. A companion story for the Broken series, made up of a series of short stories/scenes from Claire's life before and during Broken (not so much BMS since we do get her perspective in that one).
It's Claire and not Nick because Nick's story starts with Broken, and we see his perspective all through that one, so I wouldn't have much to write with him that would be different. But obviously, as Nick becomes an important part of her life, he will be in this too.
I decided I'm going to write this thing in first person, which will be really different because I usually write in third person - Broken and BMS are both in third. So I think doing it in first person will make it even more interesting cause the perspective will be a lot different.
I just got inspired and churned out an introduction that I'm happy with, so I'm going for it now.
I already have some ideas as far as what scenes/parts of the story to write, but I wanted to get some input from you guys too. What parts would you like to see written in this series?
Here's an example... I'll thank ER for this because this is what got me going on this idea last night in the first place: The part where Claire comes to see Nick for the first time after he lost his leg, having just heard about what happened. In Broken, we only see that from his perspective, but imagine what a shock that had to have been for her. I think it would be interesting to write, so that's one scene that's gonna be in this.
What else would you like to see?
