It’s based on a life experience (with some fantasy) since I’m fourteen, I sort of tried to think about what I’d look like in three years. I’m writing about my senior year in high school and a romance with an old friend that I haven’t seen since we were ten.

Macy was a normal seventeen year old senior in high school. She had her four best friends, seniors Nicole, Kat, and Cameron, and junior Wes. For seven years she has daydreamed about what it would be like to fall in love with the boy she knew at ten. They were best friends and haven’t talked since sixth grade. Macy had moved away from him during the summer and they met one more time during the school year the next year. Then, a boy who looks familiar moves to town. It’s her old friend Vince. They rekindle their friendship and become close once again, spending every day together, but instead of hanging upside down on monkey bars or scootering down the street, they’re hanging out at the lake or playing tennis or soccer. Over time, they start to fall in love, but when a friend’s brother starts to make a move on Macy, will it threaten the budding romance Macy has been dreaming about for seven years?
You know, anyone criticizing this (meanly I mean) is basically criticizing my life. Half of this is based on my actual experiences! Falling in love with my best friend from fifth grade, having four best friends (although I’m a freshmen with "Nicole, Kat, and Cameron" (Names have been changed) and "Wes" is an eighth grader. I aged all of us to make it better. But yeah, "Vince" is a guy I fell for when I was ten and we were extremely close. I just made it into a romance. And I did date a friend’s brother! Macy is just one of my favorite names and it starts with Ma, (Like my name) Those are things we did together and I have been dreaming about a relationship with him since I was ten!

I’m sorry to say this as I don’t mean to offend you but it is very, very, VERY cliche and stereotyped. It’s so typical that it’s cheasy. I mean, even the very name Macy makes it sound that way. Rhymes with Spacey too much. It also reminds me of twilight. Let me guess? Vince turns out to be a vampire, werewolf, or fallen angel, right? Well, I don’t mean to be a party pooper as I have come up with some crap stories too (most of them are in fact) but I suggest you give this a secon thought. You know what really helps story-writing?

Reading. Read as many novels as you can get your hands on. Since you like romance it seems, I reccomend reading romance novels like Princess Diaries or something. Those are similar to what you’d want to write about. At least, that’s what my sisters said. Anyhow, give it a second shot. After a bunch of trial and error, I’m sure you’ll come up with something that will turn into a Best-Seller some day.

Good Luck! :-)
