Angst: How Many Times Can I Write That in One Entry?
I feel like I need to be in love with someone who doesn't love me back. No one in particular, mind, just someone. Weird.
Maybe it's because I'm writing/trying to write an angstfic in first person, and I'm getting too involved with it. This happens sometimes. I get emotionally involved with the characters I'm writing, and the line between fantasy and reality gets blurred a bit. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Do high school boys angst? Are they emotionally masochistic? I would imagine they have similar emotional problems to high school girls, but maybe they react differently.
This is what happens to you when you don't have a job. You have too much time to worry about your fucking crap fanfic. This is the first one I've actually done any sort of research on. I'm not familiar with the lives of American teenagers (or teenage boys from anywhere, for that matter), and I need a bit of help. I don't want this to come out sounding like it was written by a British girl. It needs to sound like an American boy's inner thoughts are being expressed. No, it's not a diaryfic, just first person with very little dialogue.
I know I have a few American boys (ahem, men) on my f-list, so maybe one of you can help. Please?
