Chapter 1, 2 and 3 make up the first part of the novel. The first 15K. They were easy to write, even though the lads’ new story was so different from the old one. I like this one a heck of a lot better though. I read through the old one as I wrote this, and it was so full of cliches all around. I’m glad I’ve given these characters new life and a new story to tell, because they sure deserve it.

As an outline worked so great for More Than Anything, I also outlined this story. Whereas MTA spans a little over a year, this one will take place over 4-5 years. A lot is going to happen in those five years too, and the first part ended with quite the heartbreaking cliffhanger.

This part takes place over a couple of months, where the lads meet, fall in lust and into a relationship. I wrote these three chapters knowing the event that what was going to end the part, and it is quite a cliffhanger. Every part will be ended on one, to make it just that much more interesting to turn over to the next part.

Still, it’s not easy to write, because I am hurting my characters. I know how it’s all going to end, but it’s not an easy road getting them there.
