summer Sumerall lmao thats so funny. I think of a cheesy romance too!
mare:
I think that's really the only time it makes sense for it to be just one boy over the course of an entire story. Even though I will never ever get it, but that's okay. LOL
Or I guess unless you're going for one of those Gravity or that dumb Tom Hanks movie where he talks to a volleyball the entire time? Type stories.

--- Quote from: Rose on July 19, 2014, 04:01:38 AM ---I have this same problem of "inspiration" leading to distraction.
Case in point - For "Show Me A Reason" I've been watching old videos to either use old bits or get a certain vibe on things. Or ya know, inspiration. What usually ends up happening is that I watch videos half the night and take forever to actually write something LOL.

Ugh, I have that problem too!! I have been known to put on an episode of ER for "research," and before I know it, I've watched like four episodes of ER and written nothing.

I don't think I've ever written a novel that only had one boy in it either. The other guys are always in my stories, even if they focus mainly on one or two. Even in Secrets of the Heart, which was very AU, I managed to work Howie, Nick, and Kevin in.
I like romances that do this too. One reason I love Cover Me With Dreams so much is that, even though it's a Nick romance, the other guys are in it a lot, and it basically tells the story of the early days of BSB right along with the story of Nick and Ciara's relationship.
mare:
Yeah, I like to call that tricking people who don't enjoy romance, to read. Where there is romance but enough of the guys that if need be non romance people like myself can skim or skip over the romance stuff to get to the guys parts. Which is what I admittedly do in those situations lol unless the actual romance plot line draws me in (which happens never or very very rarely)
