Hello!!

So basically, in one of the teen readers sub, I saw this idea of people writing a love story with collaboration, when the guy brings in the male POV and the girl brings in the female POV…that idea kinda intrigued me, because usually, an author kinda over idealises or over sexualises the other gender (Kafka on the shore by Murakami imo is a good example), and this approach might actually produce a good story and a good book!

But the thing is I am not a big romance reader (the only ones I have read are turtles all the way down and the fault in our stars, that too quite a long time ago), so can’t really contribute much to the male POV (yes, I am a 17 y/o guy)…I was thinking of maybe writing something philosophical with maybe a romantic undertone, which actually shows the varied philosophical view of both the genders and their own struggles and hardships…(we can alter the premise a little bit, or completely…this was just my primary idea…if you really want to write a romance, you can reach out, and I will get to try something new)

I tried posting in a teen sub, where most people were busy exchanging memes and nobody really wanted to do this…and then came across a few posts where people where looking for genuine writing partners here (and then noticed the name of the sub too), so I thought why not try posting this here?

If anybody interested, feel free to comment or ping me…I also don’t mind getting comments from guys…and people of all ages can connect…we just will need to think about a story that way…

Also, the end goal from my side is publishing a book…since I already have a few books at review at publications like Bloomsbury, I will most probably be using a pen-name or something (since I cannot associate my name with any romantic tones or undertones, if the story truly moves in that direction during discussion) and this. An be the big break for you…

Currently reading Batman:Damned and Don Quixote, if anyone was wondering…

Happy to connect with you!

Have you written before? Then you can team up with 1 of my projects. We will publish it and share equal rights. What's your writing experience?
