<p>I could give you a typical synopsis that you'll gloss over...or I could tell you the essence of what the story will be.</p> <p>Still with me? Great! Let's get to it...</p> <p>WISH MOUNTAIN is inspired by fairy tales and, in a way, animated Disney movies.</p> <p>The biggest inspiration of them all is Beauty and the Beast.</p> <p>Why? Because I love it and hate it at the same time.</p> <p>The thing I hate about the movie is how the villain, Gaston, never got a chance for redemption. The movie was all about what is on the inside that counts, right? Beast went from bad-to-good because Belle learned to love and care about him.</p> <p>Was Gaston not worth that same chance for redemption? Sure he was a bad person, but so bad that he couldn't also undergo the same kind of change for the better?</p> <p>It was this question that got me thinking... what would Gaston's redemption look like? What kind of story would that be?</p> <p>From this nugget an entire epic story unfolded that has both outgrown, but has never forgotten, that original inspiration.</p> <p>So what can you expect?</p> <p>In essence: something like an epic, adult-orientated Disney story, which is gloves-off when it comes to violence and character trauma. I'll be doing my best to write a story that is as close to a classic adventure fairy tale with real stakes and meaningful characters as I can.</p> <p>The story begins with two orphans; Amaryllis and Chicory, who are whisked away to the magical WISH MOUNTAIN, and are faced with fending for themselves all alone. This is a HUGE story that will take YEARS for me to finish.</p> <p>If you're ready for a journey to Wish Mountain, then Once Upon a Time begins with Chapter 1...</p>
