Hey All!!!
I was recently doing some reading online and happened upon this Korean teen drama series called Boys Over Flowers (Forever Young Adult has a good review on the series here). It seemed right up my alley: a little nutty, a lot of fun, and full of teenaged-dramatic-goodness.
While I was reading the plot online a light bulb went off in my brain. I realized that this story has all the ingredients for a fun YA novel:
1) Smart, nice, cute and mouthy main character goes to private school on scholarship? Check!
2) Meets a cute group of boys that are all major douches? Check!
3) Boys all fall madly in love for our wonderfully lovable heroine and all chaos ensues? Double Check!
For my purposes, I'll probably want to add in a dash of the supernatural with my own bit of flair...but I think it may be something special.
I never know when a good idea will hit me, or where I'll get my next inspiring thought, so I always keep an open mind for whatever may come. I'll be pocketing this idea, along with slew of others I have locked away in my handy-dandy notebook, for later use. Until then, I have about 24 hours worth of Korean teen drama to catch up on!
On a different note, I recently heard from my editor with Evernight Teen and have been working on my first round of edits for about a week now. I'm about halfway through and am so excited I may bust!
Happy reading and writing!
I've been trying to get into KDrama and I LOVE J-Drama. They've got a great one called Absolute Boyfriend. Seriously had me in tears. I'm a huge fan of KPop as well. If you get into that definitely try BigBang. They rock! You never know when the idea bug will hit you :-)
ReplyDeleteI just watched the first episode of Boys Over Flowers and loved it!!! I'll have to check out Absolute Boyfriend as well. Thanks for stopping by, Victoria!
DeleteCongrats on the edits! It's always a fun time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barb! I'm really excited by them, even though it's only the first round and I have to see how they like my changes I've made.
DeleteLove when ideas pop up at random times. That series sounds great.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Jennifer! And the series is great in that it's so bad, but it's so good sort of way. If you like JDrama or KDrama I'd definitely recommend it.
DeleteEveryone seems to be watching Kdramas right now! I need to get in on this. Have you seen Coffee Prince? It's number one on my list, I've heard it's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely get on it! I haven't heard of Coffee Prince, but I'll definitely check it out. The next ones I want to catch after I finish with Boys Over Flowers will be Playful Kiss and Personal Taste!
DeleteThanks for stopping by, Meg!
