So I'm writing a story and I was wondering what everybody thought. I'm
going to put up a teaser for now and ask a few questions at the end of the
excerpt.
“Life sucks!” exclaimed Derek. “Why does everything have to happen
all at once?”
“I don’t know, man. It does seem like everything is going to shit for
you right now though.” his friend Ron commented. Ron and Derek had been
friends for a long time and if something was bothering one of them, they
would immediately go tell the other and try to work things out.
Derek had grown up in a small town in the middle of nowhere, while Ron had
grown up in the city. These two friends met each other when Derek moved to
the city at the start of high school. Now four and a half years later,
these two were inseparable. They had gone through a lot together, all of
the normal high school problems and some not so normal ones. Derek and Ron
were always there for one another, especially when it came to relationship
problems. Every guy needs someone to go talk to about things like that
without worrying about losing his “rep”. For Derek that person was Ron,
and Ron, likewise, had Derek. The thing that had bothered Derek the most
throughout high school was the fact that he never had a girlfriend. Sure,
there were girls he was interested in, but they either had boyfriends, were
real bitches, or just plain flirts and heartbreakers. Ron, on the other
hand, had a girlfriend most of his high school career. He had met his first
when he was in the eighth grade and dated her until half way through the
summer of his sophomore year.
Ok, so here's where you come in.... I need last names for Derek and Ron.
Also If you have any ideas to help develop the story line feel free to tell
me. I'd really appreciate your help and will be posting excerpts from the
story every so often. Thanks a lot!
