But here's my try based on your very helpful post. (Thoughts?)<br /><br />Seventeen-year-old Shayla struggles with intimacy after battling Crohn's disease and spending the last few years on a first name basis with hospital staff. All she wants is to be a normal teenager and fit in at school, but when the boy she cares about pushes her too far and her absent father suddenly wants a relationship, she faces her biggest struggle yet: opening herself up to the love of others. An emotionally driven story, perfect for fans of Laurie Halse Anderson, SICKGIRL is a young adult novel complete at 51,000 words.Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485997747361791052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-71100931405035639922011-12-06T14:56:52.737-05:002011-12-06T14:56:52.737-05:00I love the "what does your character WANT?&qu...I love the "what does your character WANT?" question. So crucial. We had a very long dinner conversation about this at the RADAR Lab last summer.<br />Keeping the character(s) "wanting" directly feeds the momentum of the prose. Do they ever get it? Do they settle? All of these questions drive the plot.
