Chapter 27

So chapter 27 eh? Well, it's the longest chapter I've written so far, that's for sure!
In this chapter I just wanted Dylan and Alec to spend some time together in a normal way, let you guys see them have a bit of fun, you know?
Unfortunately I can feel some writers block coming along.... OH NO *cries*
Hopefully I'll be able to get past it quickly and not let it affect me too much... I'm really liking the direction this story is headed right now, so stay with me, cause things are going to get a whole lot better!

Chapter 25 and 26...

So, I've updated the next two chapters of Detention Boys... one from Dylan's point of view and one from Alec's.
Chapter 25 was the chapter that I wanted everyone to see Dylan's relationship with his mother.I wanted to show that she is completely at ease with his homosexuality and that she accepts and loves him for who he is.
Chapter 26 was also showing a mother/son relationship... this time with Alec. You don't really get to know Alec's mother in the beginning of the story, therefore the comparison between the way Alec's mother is acting and the way she used to be is conveyed through the comparison that Alec makes inside of his own head.
Chapter 26's purpose is to also develop plot; this is done by the introduction of the mysterious guy outside Nando's. From this point on wards the story will begin to develop in terms of Alec and Dylan's relationship but also in story line as well.
I don't intend for Detention Boys to just be about Alec's growing feelings for Dylan... there is a lot more to it than that ;)

Hello world!

Ah. A blog. Me and blogs haven't had a great relationship in the past, but times are changing and I have a better feeling about this blog. It may not be a great feeling, but it is better. Not at bad feeling.
For those of you who may be reading this and thinking 'who is this' or 'why am I even reading this blog'? Well, to begin with, I am a Wattpad author, and I hope to someday be a published author.
So, for those of you who have stumbled across this blog either by mistake or sheer luck, my name is Jodie, and I go by the username jcharlotte1997 on www.wattpad.com.
My first story that I am in the process of writing is called 'Detention Boys'. Here's the lovely synopsis for you all:

“Alec, you’re drunk and confused. You don’t want this,” he said, but didn't try to move away. I could feel his breath on my lips, only a few inches separating our bodies. I looked up at him, the dim lighting making his eyes the deepest midnight blue, and he was staring down at me. “I don’t know what I want.” And then I kissed him.

Alec Brooke got a week's detention for a misunderstanding involving a fist and a face. There he met Dylan Lewis, an artistic, charming, outspoken guy with bleached blonde hair in serious need of a re-dye.A new friendship and a drunken night at a party changes everything Alec knows about himself.Dylan, however, upon seeing the changes in Alec feels the need to protect him. But Dylan has had his heart broken before, and he needs to decide whether or not he can risk it happening again.

It's a LGBT story centered around the characters Alec Brooke and Dylan Lewis. Check it out!

Now, for those of you lovely people who are reading this because you follow me on Wattpad... Hello there! I'm hopefully going to post a lot more on here about my process of writing 'Detention Boys' and about any other ideas I have, and what I'm planning on writing next etc.
But to begin with, I like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to you all for reading my story. The love and support means so much to me, sometimes it even brings a tear to my eye.
So yeah... This is my new blog.
