I'm only 1 follower away from 300
I still haven't any good ideas for a giveaway, though...
Meanwhile, I'm trying to beat my writer's block by writing some random story that I thought of off the top of my head last night before hanging out with my sister...
The story is about some kid, probably a teenager, who has social anxiety and feigns an illness so that they can become homeschooled and just stay home and play online games and whatnot all day. (It's loosely based on a sibling of someone I know...) They pretend to be sick with something that will keep them at home and away from people, and someone from school eventually realizes that they're missing and tries e-mailing them. Cue estranged friendship developed online between two people who don't know each other at all, and a terrified family that doesn't know how they'll ever help their poor, sick child avoiding them like the plague (no pun intended), just to the kid's liking.
I think I'll develop this into some kind of romance and find a way to get these two to meet and throw lots of drama in there in the meantime...
I don't know. It's just to break through the writer's block, so I might just abandon it later, but whatever...
I'm stuck on deciding the illness (i'm thinking infection/exposure of TB, hantavirus, or maybe fifth disease) and if the kid/teen is going to be a girl or boy. If it's a boy, it'll be a very stereotypical nerdy kid who likes comic books or something, but if it's a girl, it'll be a nerdy kid who likes the same things, but the behaviors won't be the same and the romance will develop a bit more slowly and differently... I don't know which to choose just yet.
