@PaulJacobmoss Thanks, I'm planning to post more soon :) And yeah, sometimes that happens. Maybe there'll be better prompts next year for you to enter.

So true been a rough few years for me just hope next year is finally my year,i think as you get older the years speed up but as my dad says that is until you get over 70 and everything slows down
It feels so weird that it is ALMOST 2026...
@JohnnyTuturro It really is.
If you’re a bot or looking to post services on my story’s comment section, can you not? I’m not interested.
@RissaleWriter Yeah! These bots are taking over. I get excited when I get a message or a comment… only for it to be a bot :/ It’s disheartening isn’t it?
I feel kind of weird writing about characters under eighteen doing something "sexual" (not kinky, or anything extreme, btw). I'm not a prude but because I'm not a teenager, or close to teenage age anymore, it feels weird to write to me.
I'm not saying that I will never write a YA romance ever, but I was looking at an old draft for a story and I want to age the characters up a bit and focus on their lives when they're a bit older. Not to say people can't write about YA romance in High School but I think the story makes sense for them to be older.
Has anyone else ever felt that way and realized it later down the line about a story/project they enjoyed writing?
@CitizenSamurai yes that’s a good point. I think that is a good idea for the characters to discuss things from their past and recall them. I think a lot of stories don’t think of doing that. But yeah, it can be effective.
@JohnnyTuturro You're going to grow as a person, and the same changes that take place within you regarding your own perception of things will also subject you to a similar evolution as a writer. The writing you'd produce at 16 / 17 / 18 years old would not be informed by any of the new experiences you've had beyond those ages. Your characters (as older versions), however, could certainly discuss / recall the things they did when they were young - that might be a way to incorporate anything that you had doubts / discomfort about portraying through characters of that age, who remain that age throughout the story.
Okay, I am going to write something completley different to what I usually write. Are you all ready for this?
Woo hoo! Bad Romance has progressed to Round Three, yipee! Expect more updates from it throughout the month, and let me know how you're enjoying it (if you're NOT A BOT account thanks) :)
