I've been thinking about an idea for about a year (no, seriously!). It's about a depressed boy who falls in love with another boy, but he refuses to admit it, because he doesn't want to get hurt again.
I've done about 12 false starts on this story, and originally, it was going to be this big, epic novel with 4 main characters. Now I've scaled it down to one main character and two secondary character. This is easily doable, in my opinion.
But the problem I'm having is the possibility of this novel actually getting completed and being interesting enough to read without sounding convoluted.
I've kept the boy about the same, but I've added a ticking clock and a lot of things to add a sense of suspense. To sum the story up in a few short sentences...
Ayden Ferrier is a new kid on Mercer Island who refuses to open up, because of a chaotic freshman year in Dallas. If his life isn't marginally better, he plans to kill himself on his 16th birthday. But he meets someone who will change his life for the better.
Any ideas/comments/questions?
