So most of my life lately has been sitting in the library and writing the scads of papers that I have due for various classes. Let me just say, after this week I am determined never to think about Shakespeare again.

Anyway.

Here is an idea for a story I had, inspired by Mr. Shakespeare and his various portrayals of weavers.

Okay, so there is this weaver right, and he gets kicked out of his guild. Broke and desperate, he decides to turn to a life of crime and highway robbery. Along the way, he meets up with other misfit artisans who have also been de-guilded and they decide to form a mercenary robbery company...like, rich people will hire them and they will rob other rich people. Because they have these common skills, like weaving and smithing, they make this totally awesome band of thieves and are super creative (Like the weaver guy makes their outfits and the apothecary would make smoke and stuff to conceal them, and the blacksmith made them weapons etc...)

Everything is going well until a really evil band of thieves decide to take them out...and then there will probably also be a noble who hates them and wants revenge for being robbed and maybe the other guilds will get angry. There will probably also be love triangles, cause I like those.

So...yeah. Coming soon to a bookstore near you.
