I tried NanoWrimo about four years ago & I'm really considering trying it again this year but I don't know. I haven't written anything longer than probably four pages in that time span since.
As a writer, I think your audience will EXPECT them to get together.....and that, for me, is always something to avoid. Writing what your audience expects.
I think maybe...and I just thought about this, or I would have told you last night.....what if the girl reminds the boy of his little sister....who randomly died of cancer, or something else he couldn't save her from? So while this whiny, ridiculous child is wearing on your audience, he puts up with it?
Or something along those lines. A different kind of relationship that forces them to stay together....and yes, a kind of love develops, but not the "mushy" kind.
