User blog comment:Sunshine2000/ideas for a book/@comment-26278911-20151104203859

havent got a clue how to create my own blog so hopefuly its alrite to put something here - like the person who created this blog, i am also looking for ideas or suggestions for a book i want to write. trouble is, my style of writing i have found unintentionally is similar to styles of writing used by my favorite authors. books ive read and enjoyed have stuck with me and everytime i have an idea (honestly thinking at first that it is something i have come up with out of the blue) i later realize that it is oddly similar to something i have read and subconsciously absorbed to the point of writing it myself (not word-for word, but unintentionally using character names that are from other books i have read, or minor plot points that might be from something i have read) obviously if i went ahead and wrote something and unintentionally had things in my work that is similar to other authors and ever succeeded in progressing to publishing stage, it would probably be seen as a issue of plagiarism.

all i have so far is that it is a historical setting - World War II. The main character is a US Marine stationed at Pearl Harbor, dragged into World War II after the Japanese attack, proves himself in combat in the Philippines, on Guadalcanal and enters the OSS (the pre to the CIA) goes on a mission to Jap-occupied Shanghai in China, and discovers a plot by the Japs, Germans and a rogue Soviet force seeking to join hands with the Axis forces in conquering the West and the world. The OSS agent then enters Soviet Russia with a false Russian identity, is arrested by the NKVD and locked in a gulag. By this time, the Battle of Stalingrad is in full swing and Stalin has created Order 227, Not A Step Back. Due to manpower shortages and the necessity to throw more manpower against the Germans at Stalingrad, penal regiments are created from gulag prisoners. The OSS operative is conscripted into a penal regiment heading to Stalingrad. His mission objective is in the ruins of Stalingrad - Soviet rocket engineers that he must find and kidnap and bring to the West before the Germans can kidnap them and force them to work on a new German weapon - a rocket capable of reaching the United States from Europe, carrying a deadly payload of a newly developed nerve gas.

However, the OSS operative must survive dangers like snipers, must survive suicidal Soviet attacks against German positions and survive harsh conditions that the real Soviet men are accustomed to. And he falls in love with his OSS handler, a Russian-American woman by the name of Anna Romanova (who turns out to be noneother than the surviving daughter of Tsar Nicholas II - Anastasia Romanova) and his true identity as an American spy must not be discovered by the Soviets during his time fighting alongside them in Stalingrad

All I know is that later on he will take part in the fighting in France on D-Day and afterwards, end up in Holland during Operation Market Garden, infiltrate Nazi Germany to destroy the prototype rockets, return to Holland and get caught up in the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium and then enter Germany with the Soviets, staying with the Soviets until they pour into Berlin. And Berlin is where he must find and eliminate the scientists that the Nazis kidnapped during their command and conquer campaign through Europe and Russia.

Just not sure where to take it from there and would appreaciate ideas on how to tie al this in together. Writers block is a bitch. Please let me know what you think of my idea so far, where it could possibly go from there, Any and all ideas (within reason and within the historical context - no Harry Potter-esque ideas and no cyber or fantasy or whatever please) would be immensely helpful. Not aiming to write this to get published, probably just to help develop my writing for now. But if it did get published, I'd make sure to mention names that gave inspiration (as authors do in alot of books)

Sorry for the long arse message and cheers if you do find yourselves willing to help
