I'm starting writing a little later than most, but right now I have the beginnings of an idea I had been kicking around for a while. Check it out, and let me know what you think about the quality of the writing.
Here's a little story I started putting together about six months ago, with a lot of research and work involved.
Premise: Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, but is stopped. America mobilizes and fights back.

Excerpt from the news story.
"Last night, the daughter of distinguished detective, Sherlock Holmes, took flight from her home in London. The night, shrouded in a thick mist, made it impossible for the girl to be found. Reports indicate that the runaway girl, miss Elizabeth Holmes, got into a row with her husband-to-be, Harris Watson. Parents of both bride and groom stated that Holmes, the younger, was highly opposed to the marriage. Officers assume that this was the reason for the girls midnight flit. We ask for any citizen with information about the Holmes girl's whereabouts to please come forward.
Letter from Elizabeth to her father.
Father,
I am deeply sorry, but I could not take the insufferable boy any longer. You know as well as anyone that my place in this world is not as Harris Watson's housewife. Harris, while kind in his idiotic ways, was raised to believe otherwise. I, on the other hand, was raised to believe that women belong right alongside men in the world. We were always ones for abstract thoughts weren't we father?
Now, unfortunately, is where I must rub the salt in your already agonizing wound. Despite what you believe is best, I am the only one who knows what I need, and what is best for me. Therefore, I shall not be returning home until this horrid engagement has been called off. Until then, I will remain where I am. Where I am safe, warm, and, overall, I'm happy.
With all my love,
Elizabeth H.

The letter and news story leads me to believe young Elizabeth felt smothered in her day to day life. At the time these two pieces were written, Elizabeth was around sixteen years old. Imagine waking up as a sixteen-year-old girl to find out you're engaged. It's absolutely terrifying! Elizabeth was a free spirit. She didn't like the feeling of being tied down. Her actions after this, terrible as they may be, were but a desperate attempt at obtaining the freedom she craved. The horrific actions committed by this young girl, were actually pleas for help from a trapped soul, longing to be freed.
