Okay, so I've run up against a sort of wall. I'm writing a compilation of legends about a character for my novel this time (kind of like the King Arthur legends), and although I'm not even halfway through, I'm beginning to feel like I've gotten into a rut because it's more or less become a battle-rescue-quest-battle-rescue-quest pattern.
Sooooo does anyone have any suggestions as to what a squirrel knight could be doing with his time?

Looking for hazelnuts and acorns too?

Well, if it would help to give a couple of examples I already have, he's fighting a "dragon" (an owl) in one story, and traveling down a road that is said to have no end in another.

Since he is a squirrel, some story should INVOLVE his looking for hazelnuts or acorns.

Like his getting trapped while doing so, or meeting someone and chattering while doing so or ... you get the picture.

Oh, that's true. I'll try to involve that into one of the stories.
