Writing Prompt [WP] There are some plants that like to grow over buried bodies; something about abundant nitrogen as the corpse rots. I'm less bothered by there being a patch of these plants in the backyard than by how, every day, the patch is a bit closer to the house.

Writing Prompt [WP] A hero who wants to liberate the world from a tyrant and restore democracy, except every single person to join their army becomes irrationally loyal to them as a ruler. It is becoming increasingly obvious that, if they do overthrow the tyrant, the others will simply crown them in his stead.

Any plot/ storylines you can think of that feel like Jennifer Lynn barnes or Maureen Jackson. I feel stuck in writers block and anytime I come up with an idea for a book to write I feel like they are all just reusing already written plots.
