Chatterbox: Inkwell

I am writing a story- it's about a kid (haven't decided yet who it will be...) WHo discovers that there is literally magic in our words that we write, and Ink holds power. I know this sounds a little bit like The girl who writes the future, (crowd sorcery) but I am writing it strictly for me and my family's own pleasure. :)

Do you awesome writers have any ideas? Names, maybe? DO you think it should be in our world, or a totally different one? WHat could go wrong with having a huge secret about ordinary ink that everyone uses?

I always have good ideas for beginnings, but I find it hard to carry through iwth the whole story!
