I’m currently transferring my romance into the computer from my trusty yellow legal pads. This is a long, dull process and I’m not exactly the world’s fastest typer. Damnit.

It’s going well though, I just hit the 12,000 word mark, which leaves me , what? Like 90,000 more to type in? Crap. That hurts my feelings just to say out loud.

So, another new idea came to me in the shower. Strangely, all my epiphanies happen in the shower, and I mean this in the least perverted way. (Gutter minds!)

Fat Girl Saves the World

16-year-old Mindy lives in the lowest class of high school social order — she’s a fat girl who isn’t super-smart, super-outgoing, super-artistic, or really super-anything. Until one morning she wakes up hovering over her bed and finds out she’s a superhero. Her usually emotionally unavailable dad sits her down for a heart-to-heart about her long-dead mother — a superhero who died defending whatever superheroes defend.

Mindy’s new superskills force her to take an after school class from hell, where she finds the least-likely kids from her classes are superheroes, too. If this group is the world’s greatest hope against evil, we should all start writing our wills now. Worse, the supervillian who killed her supermom has come back to make sure Mindy doesn’t live long enough to use her powers. Can Fat Girl Mindy really save the world?
