Is that pronounced like Batty? lol

I think it's pronounced Bate-y.  At least I hope it is, cuz if it's really Batty, then I've gotta find a new surname.  Baty came from Chris Baty, author of "No Plot? No Problem!" and creator of National Novel Writing Month.  Can't be too uncommon a name, can it?

Well, that's true.  I'd never heard of it either until I bought the book.

I'm starting to lean more toward AU, but I am just not positive.  I guess I'll just start working on the character bios and maybe the right name for Lead Female will come to me.  Oh yeah... that's another thing... am I doing it mainly from Brian's POV?  Girl's POV?  I'll be trying to have an even amount between the POVs.  Should I have the rest of the Boys star?

Happy Birthday Brian!!

Dagnabit, does time fly.  I had no idea that six months had gone by since I last posted, or even thought about this story.  But I finally have the woman's name: Rowena Jaden Fielding. Everyone calls her Jaden and her family is originally from Scotland, so she still has a little bit of a brogue.  And she writes poetry.

Brian has lost Leighanne and Baylee to a car wreck and he still carries scars, physically, emotionally and spiritually - turning away from God.

I was finally able to chat with Louise on Monday and we got to talking about this story.  Yesterday I went to the library for my novel class and also checked out some romance novels.  The first one I picked up after getting home was "Rainbow's End" by Irene Hannon.  The moment I started reading, I realized that this book was almost the same story that I wanted to use for my story.  So I started taking notes too...

...and finished reading the book in seven hours.
