I had posted this once, but lost it to the www. Lucky you, I will shorten it.
I have a story about ten pages long; I started it eight years ago when I was in high school, and I haven't worked on it in 5 years.
The (half assed) plot: A girl, J, is trying to choose between two step-brothers, M and I. M is an ass and has a sometimes girlfriend. I is single but too nice. There are other characters, but I won't bother you with them. I am deciding whether the major characters are still in h/s or not. I am intending to make it a "teen" story. It's somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 finished.
My Q: Does anyone think I have anything resembling an interesting plot? I know it's banal, but I was 16! and it's all I knew then. I was "angst-filled" then as well, and I wanted to take it out on someone. Also, I think all the original romance plots are taken already. I have things I can do to my major characters, but I suppose I am just looking for reassurance that maybe, possibly, I can make this romance story work and come to an agreeable ending. The beasts of self-doubt, indecision, and insecurity are biting my knuckles.
Am I just thinking about it too much?
