The story I am going to write and publish.

It's about an orthodox Christian teen, Jared, and a wild partying teen, Alexis.

They meet at the library, Alexis is disdainfully trying to complete a school project (or she's going to fail for the quarter), she meets Jared. They talk, he offers her help. He's geeky, smart, goes to a Catholic school, and Alexis find him attractive, just not cool.
Jared finds her beautiful, but sinful.

They fall in love, both trying to help/change each other; Jared trying to tame her, and Alexis trying to get him out of his shell.

Sound good? Any feedback from you writers out there?

I'm really into this, it's not my first story, but now I have the initiative and I'm going to finish is and publish it.

I might post a few excerpts for feedback and criticism.

Please and thank you!

**I have my own pen name and everything lol.

Sounds an interesting scenario. Good luck

Sounds good to me


Ooh and whats your pen name?

Sounds interesting,
Hard to do while staying objective. It would be easy to turn it into a very pro or anti christian concept.
I'd be really aware of the characters faults and strengths and don't end it with either one 'seeing the error of their ways'.
Interesting premise, you should post it up when you have it done.

Okay, thank you. That's actually really good advice.
I suppose I should think of the ending before I write it?
Should I write the ending first?

It's Tricki Vulgaris.

Vulagaris, meaning 'ordinary' or 'common' in Latin (or something).
Which is ironic because I'm neither lol.

And Tricki, because it's a nickname my friend Blair gave me, the rhyme or reason I have no idea.

Kinda like Nicholas Sparks "A walk to remember"

expect the roles are reversed.

I don't know,
Whatever you feel more comfortable with I think. Some people start and see where they go and other find it important to have a structure set in their mind.

I think it's a good idea to know what you want to say with a story, even if not exacty how you're going to say it.

Oh right.. I forgot about that!
Yeah, the roles are reversed, and no one is going to die in the end lol.

Is it too similar to "A Walk To Remember"?

If it is I'll just scratch that and do the story I was previously working on.. although that story is really intense.

...........Also the girl should have good boobs.

I'll be sure to include breasts.

It's not a new plot Kristy, but it has a new, interesting twist. She can't just be wild she has to be almost decadent because of her circumstance. Don't make it about religion at all, explain why they're different casually. Do they have to change each other or bring out the best in each other and blend well? They can battle a bit as they evolve ? Makes for great passion.
Just a thought, ditch it if you hate it, it's your story.

Yeah, I figured it was a used up plot. lol.
I think I want to keep in the religious part, but it won't come out right away. I think I want the female to get reconnected with her God, you know?
Battle, most definitely.
Both will end up changing a bit that's for sure.

Thank you for the suggestions, they were really helpful.

As for the story, I'm thinking about possibly ditching the whole idea, but just you know, keeping the document on my PC lol.

I'll make a new thread about the sory I was working on before. It's pretty intense I think, but definitely not something worn out.

well..its hard to tell from what you wrote. Its sounds similar but even similar things can produce so many different perspectives and emotions. I think its got potential...change the main situations and produce emotions that get the readers lost in lives of the two...

Go for it! I would read it...but I am a sap for love stories.
