Ugh, my mum gets all snotty with me because i wont ring up the help centre for our netbook. What she doesn't realise is i just set up the printer, and i'm ALWAYS ringing up the help people. Just because her computer isn't compatible to use wifi printer software she starts ranting. I've told her over four years to get it updated. But oh no, does she listen? Nope. I'm like "Bitch, please!" lol just kidding. I'm not allowed to talk back. Yet she can swear at me. Stupid double standards!
I kinda like it. Brief blurb below. I also just finished a flash fiction story. It's complete at 902 words. Flash fiction is a micro short story, usually less than 1k words.
Anyone know of the main things to include in a YA story? Like... Love, action, communication, driven characters... etc etc. Any specific things i need to include? Probably find the answer elsewhere, but i just thought i'd ask. I only ask because i feel my story is lacking a certain... something. I want to include a love interest, but it's finding a place to include it, because i didn't add one to start with. I don't want to force it, but when i re-read it, i just feel it's missing SOMETHING. Gah! Any tips?
Characters and a plot. Characters must have motivations. Plot must have conflict and stakes.
That is all. There is no writing in stone that says you MUST HAVE romance. In fact, if you're trying to find a place to "fit in" a love interest, it's probably best for your story that you don't. That's like trying to "fit in" vampires/angels/zombies/demons/wizards just because they're popular right now.
