100

This is my 100th post. Wow. How the time has gone by? That's a lot of posts. And I want to continue writing. I'm determined to make a change in my life and always find a balance between writing and the rest of my life.

The problem with this is I don't even know what to talk about? D:

I guess I should talk about my new writing project. I briefly mentioned the idea a while ago. I've been working on it for like a month now.

Let's start from the very beginning. I mentioned in one of my posts that I wanted to write a story about a band and their journey of fame and fortune. But I asked myself why would anyone care to read it or want to?

So my answer to the solution (assuming anyone would even want to read my writing) was making them care about the characters. I was originally going to start it off with their first days of fame. But nope. I decided to take it back before then. I looked up names and found which ones spoke to me.

And I really wanted to focus on character development. A lot of my previous writings I focused on the plot and what I wanted from it and therefore creating characters that fit that plot. But with this one my process was knowing they'd eventually form a band. So I focused on the individuals and what made them similar and different.

There will be five members of the band, it's an all male band. Sorry ladies. But there's still some good female characters in it as well.

They'll eventually all have something that brings them to audition for a singing competition TV show a la American Idol and X Factor. And from there they'll gain fame and eventually become a band.

I wanted each of the members to have some sort of vulnerability and something that would come back to haunt them.

So far I have 47 pages written and it's a huge accomplishment for me because my previous stories have always been half way done by page 40 and this story is only just starting.

The first five chapters are all dedicated to one of the boys. And it'll continue that way until they get to the auditions.

So the first official synopsis of my story?

When the lives of five different boys are intertwined leading them down a path where their wildest dreams come true they find that fame and fortune is not all they thought it'd be. There's as much bad as there is good. And when each of them have secrets and pasts that won't leave them alone they'll realize it's not all for one but rather one for all.

The title of my story currently is One For All. That'll be the name of their band eventually.

There's Aiden, the rebel who seems to be failing school and constantly gets in fights. And doesn't seem to care about anyone. Except of course his mom who's trying to earn enough money to raise him and his little sisters.  He'll do whatever he has to for his family. But with the dark shadow of his missing father hanging over his head will he be able to reach his goals?

Then there's Noah who's parents are doctors and lawyers. He's been given everything he could ever want except his parents' love. Noah knows that money doesn't buy happiness and when he's forced to keep hidden his family life he'll find that it's harder to do especially when he wants nothing more than to change his life. And being new to town will only make things harder.

Mason happens to be Aiden's best friend but the complete opposite of Aiden. He's calm, cool and collected. And the star of the tennis team. Unfortunately when he falls for a girl that previously had altercations with Aiden things get complicated and he's left heartbroken. But when he gets messages on twitter from @YourBiggestFan he starts falling for his biggest fan...The problem? He doesn't know who she is.

Owen dreams about forming a band with his best friend Mads, they sing duets and post them on Youtube. Owen and Mads are inseparable but when they audition as a duet act, they're told they can make it into the show if they sing as soloists. And when things come between them, and one of them makes a life changing choice everything will change. And their feelings for each other seem to be more than that of best friends, too bad they don't realize it.

After Declan's grandpa dies he vows to make him proud and follow his dreams of becoming a famous singer.  But with depression lingering and distancing himself from his former friends he realizes it's not as easy as it sounds. As he takes a step closer to fame and depression lingering he'll have to come to terms with whether he wants to give up or continue on through.

So there you have it! What do you think??
