Idea AHOY!

As I mentioned in my first post I like to write a lot and have been working to find an idea that I like for National Novel Writing Month. This year, I think I've got it!
I've thought of doing the 100 theme challenge before but something feels right about it this time. I know I'm not a novel or novella or novelette writer, I have a home with the short story writing style. It's something I've been fairly good at before and wish to give a shot at again. What is different is I am going to try and link the themes in some way. One idea is to set everything up as a Frame Tale and start off with the narrator telling about their life and everything they are about, getting caught up in the moment that someone is paying them any attention. Then they would realize that they are the story teller and will begin the tales of each theme. Some may be fairy tales, others cautionary, others just something that would come to mind.

Thoughts? Let me know. I'll post the themes in a little bit.

Here are the Themes

Amount of Income = Soon to be improved

Last update I mentioned that I had been given a job offer and had chosen to accept this offer to work at Payless at the mall. I had my first day there but I wouldn't really count it as a first day. I was there for only two hours to fill out paper work and start figuring out my training for the job. However, I got paid to do that. I'm alright with this though it does feel a bit strange. I work two more times this week and the following week I am unsure of when I have to work.

That being said the next two days I do not have very much going on. I am hoping that I will be able to get something creative done soon. Most likely something written as that will be the easiest to work with currently. I want to find a solid idea before I do though because I want to work on this whenever I have free time.
