Because that's why gay kids kill themselves. To make a statement.

I doubt any of them have any deeper personal reasons or ANYTHING.


Jesus Christ, what is this? Heathers?

I feel it is usually just easier to let the characters be who they are, and to always let yourself have a little secret about them. If you feel like you are fighting with the character, you probably just need to take a step back and let the course of the narrative showcase who they really are.

What publishing service are you using? Will it be available through Ingram or Baker & Taylor? I am using Lulu and it will be available through Ingram, Nielsen, and Bowker. I have heard nothing but good things about them from a number of objective and expert sources, so I am excited about the wh...
