Been working some more on outlining/writing/whatnot, and I realised some things.  I started on the basic concepts of these before I’d really fallen into the Wattpad rabbit hole and now am unsure whether some of these concepts (esp. #2) are a little overdone (not necessarily in a negative way, but that the ideas are no longer fresh).
          
          These are the main 3 I’m working on (all 3 are George stories btw):
          
          1. Pretty standard love story initially. They meet and fall in love, main girl has some issues/trauma that they work through together, and so forth.  Once it gets going, however, it focusses on their relationship issues and other external problems they face.  My main worry for this one is that it would be boring, as I am currently trying to write it as a fairly realistic perspective of what it would be like to be in a relationship with someone like George.
          2.  They have been close friends for a very long time, eventually they both develop feelings for each other, everybody sees it but them, etc, etc, etc.  Essentially a bunch of mutual pining and angsty-cute scenarios crammed into a story.  I really do find this one a bit cringey so I might scrap it altogether.
          3.  She marries a man that her parents like and who would provide security and good standing.  Despite being perfect on paper and seemingly charming, however, he turns out to be abusive (I have not exactly worked out the details of the abuse).  She soon falls in love with someone who is much kinder to her (George), and the majority of the book would focus on the resulting events and issues.  I really like what I have so far on this one, but I in no way want to misrepresent or make entertainment of domestic abuse, so I am a little reluctant to write it in my story.
          Would love to know y’all’s thoughts!! <3

@ SomewhereInHerSmile  All of these sound so good; especially #1! Because in my experience only few fanfics are really realistic and imo it's fascinating to   read something less sugar coated, you know? :) And don't worry about similar stories already existing. Your writing style is different, the details will be different etc. It only matters that you enjoy writing it. Anyways, I'm looking forward to reading sth from you one day! :)

@harrisonlara you are the best, thank you so much!!!  I have the most written down for #1 so it’s probably the one that’ll be done first <3

O.K. so I know I keep saying I’ll get started writing  s o m e d a y, but I now have three full-lengths in the works!  The problem is, every time I get started actually writing, by the time I’m a few chapters in I end up having changed several fundamental aspects of the story and have  to start over.  BUT the ideas are there so maybe I’ll be able to get rolling soon!  Peace & love <3

@SomewhereInHerSmile can't wait to read your stories. I know I get jammed up trying to write all my ideas down. For me, I have to concentrate on one at a time...sink or swim. Even if I hate what I wrote the day before and have to redo the entire thing, it's best for me for continuities sake to focus on one. But I know there are lots of writers who can manage multiple stories at once. They usually use outlines to keep things flowing evenly. ❤️
