Find a guy who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on, one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you....
So I have been writing since I was a fifth grader, and through the years, I've discovered that romances are my forte. Most of the time, I don't get too involved in love triangles because I find that sometimes the characters just some how develop a relationship that I wasn't going for.
Before anything else, I guess I have to tell you a little about my story. It starts off with this couple--Ally and Jake--and at first, there relationship is off to a great start! There are that couple that everyone admires. A couple years later, and it starts going downhill after Jake's life takes a turn for the worst. To solve his problems, he starts to drink ALOT and his emotions get all weirded up because of this. He starts to care less about Ally and more about forgetting the past. Another guy pops into Ally's life--Luke--and she just can't resist the thrill of being loved again. Blah, blah, blah. You get the point. In the end, Luke and Ally are supposed to end up together.
My problem is, that while I really want Ally and Luke together, I have to, at points in my story, have a couple romantic moments b/t Jake and Ally despite the final outcome. But while I'm writing about Jake and Ally, I just get so caught up in it, and then I can't get my mind off of Jake and Ally being a couple--and just like that, Luke is forgotten.
This has happened numerous times in my writing, and I just can't settle with one of them. It's been back and forth for so long and its hindering my writing. Any advice?
