A Different Kind of Story (for me)

Wayne Gray

I've been working on a new sort of story, a sort I've never really written.

I'm writing a story about a "what if" scenario. It's a tale, set in a world much like our own, with one key difference. That is, it's written in a world where Love is Love. Where healthy relationships of all kinds are simply accepted, and there's no social pressure to be something you're not supposed to be.

The difference is actually quite profound. I have to think about it. I have to constantly rewrite bits, because my protagonists shouldn't angst over some of the things my characters in other stories have. They're just allowed to be.

What a world that'd be. Where the only struggles a pair of guys have to becoming a couple are the same struggles a man and a woman would have.

I'm on chapter seven. I figure I've probably got another four to five chapters to go before I'm done, and I'm looking forward to watching them make this journey together.

Really, it's the journey we should all have the choice to make - regardless of who we choose to walk the path with us.

I have been! I even wrote on my vacation, I'll have you know! 😛

I hope it appeals. It's the first time I've written a pure romance, with no external stressors. There are the regular trials (work, money, family) but nothing "other" to deal with. I thought it'd be boring at first, but I am having a nice time with my guys, watching them get closer. It's just sweet.

Thank you, Reader!

I'm used to writing fairly complex plots, and holding a lot of things in my mind at once as I go. But this is a far simpler tale. That also means there's little to distract from the main characters, so the story there needs to be engaging. It's interesting to me ... the change in the writing dynamic.

Great song. And a perfect fit. 🙂

Hmmm. I seem to recall someone competing with me for that crown? *taps chin* Who could that have been???
