Inspirational pic for a YA story
I've been brainstorming about a YA m/m romance that I'd like to write based on this pretty picture. Isn't it sort of serene and beautiful? The only problem, besides all the WIPs I already have on the go, is that YA is a totally different ballgame so to speak. I'll have to watch the language and the sexual content but that's jut a different challenge, right?
Anyhow, I'm going to give it a go so now I need to start my wheels turning. Usually I have a name for my characters right away but none have hit me yet. Do any of you look at the picture and have names that just jump out at you? If so, definitely throw them out there for me to consider.
Have a good Monday. :)
PS I just have to say how excited it makes me to see "Outfoxed" on the All Romance site - I know it's not really published and it's free, but it's still very, very cool. :D

It's a sweet pic, perfect for a nice YA story. But you're right, a different writing style than Outfoxed.
ReplyDeleteYeah I love it. Will have to watch how and what I write. No names come to mind?
ReplyDeleteMy first kiss went to a boy named Pitney. The guy in the striped shirt reminds me of him with that shaggy dark hair and skinny legs. Pit was kind of a dick -- he pushed for sex, I said no, he dumped me -- but it wasn't the best relationship to begin with because he was the only other gay guy I knew at the time. Does that help? :)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet picture.
ReplyDeleteMy first kiss from another boy ended badly and I never saw him again after being sent away from home. Still, very sweet. LOL
Tim and Zach, LOL
ReplyDelete@Thorny - Pitney? Really? He doesn't sound like a very nice guy or character and weird name, dude. I like the name "Jazz" though. :) Thanks for sharing your story - sorry it didn't turn out well, but you've got it made in the shade now.

*smooches*
@Ivan - Awww - that's not a happy story at all. :( Sorry hon - doesn't sound like first kisses are so great, huh?
ReplyDeleteTim and Zach? Why'd you pick those names, hon?
xo
Such is life! If it hadn't happened I wouldn't have ended up in Cali and met Milo laters, so it's good.
ReplyDeleteAnd the boys in the picture just looked like a Tim and a Zach
