I Enjoy Using the Word Glossy
Well everyone is now fully aware how much I suck. Phew.
Let's talk about something else (besides the glossy new flat screen my dad won at a superbowl party that isn't working or the snow that's ruining my morning - because what do those have to do with writing?)
Another Announcement of Sorts:
I write teen fiction.
:waits for the non-believers to start shunning:
It's true, and I LOVE it - so there. I mean hell I'm a teenager, it's not like I'm going to write really deep meaningful existentialist prose. I mean I could, but I'm not going to because that's not my style. What I don't do is write crap with chatspeak and IMing. I also don't write the story where the girl falls in love with her best friend, the girl falls in love with a vampire (although I do read Twilight and it's the best god damn series out there), the girl whines because her boyfriend broke up with her.
I try to keep my characters three-dimensional and very un-stock like. Try being the operative word.
Now the I know the question is posed on all your lips, you're waiting with bated breath: what are you writing about now?
Hey, thanks for asking!
My current story is about a cheerleader with obsessive compulsive tendencies named Julie who meets a romantic artist who tells knock knock jokes named Ben. Obviously they get together, but that happens in the second chapter (ergo not the point of the story). The story goes on about their relationships, the problems and the falling in love (my MC Julie has dated a lot of boys in the past and doesn't believe love exists). But then a little less than a year into their relationship they have sex (a first for Julie) and guess what happens. . .
Well of course she gets pregnant (what kind of story would it be if she didn't?). It gets better (well technically it gets worse but I'm pretty proud of myself for writing this, really being in the process of writing this that I always tell this part with glee). Ben gets in an accident . . . and dies.
NOW WHAT?
(I already know I just did that for dramatic effect)
