That is a tall order!
I have always wanted to write a Robin Hood inspired story. There are a few revisions I would like to make to the old, tried and true mythologies of our modern age. Robin Hood is just one of them.
I want to do some reimaging to the likes of Dorian Gray, The Raven, Pride and Prejudice, and Taming The Shrew to keep me busy for the next decade.

So what is out there?
I do love the Kevin Costner version from the early 1990's. Funny how I took a noncredit script writing course through a community college at the same time that the film was released. The Hollywood screenwriter helped my classmates and I breakdown the scenes, characters, and story lines. I learned so much about storytelling during those six weeks than in any creative writing class I have ever taken.
So do not pass on noncredit courses! You might be happily surprised the knowledge you receive.
When I was sketching out some dialogue for my take on the classic tale, the main character pretty much told me his story. Scene after scene, I could tell that this type of Robin Hood was going to be a mesh-mash of elements from the original story and a few others from external sources.
I cannot wait to get it all finished.
I hope I can keep up the momentum and get this origin story edited for an autumn release.
As long as the characters keep writing the story themselves, I do not see why not. Stranger things have happened.
Have a great and wonderful day.
