Flushed with the successful completion of last year's contest, I have signed myself up. The problem is, I have no story idea. I've been turning over various plots in my mind, and I'm not sure what I want to do.
The thing is, for ages I've wanted to write a good ghost story. I get really tired of the stories where the ghosts are all chainsaw murdering serial killers or, at best, somehow manage to cause physical damage to the living. I have been wondering if I could write a good, scary story.
I have had this one idea that I tried awhile ago, but I think the plot was all over the place. I thought I might give it another go, but it has to do with a girl who can see ghosts, and between various television shows with that same theme, and at least one YA series that already features said type of girl, I don't know if I should do it.
So...poll...

But I'm sure that anything you write will be fine.

They sort of reflects why I'm hesitatant, really. I just don't know if I can come up with something intersting enough.
