NoEZ Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I've decided to write a book about a teenage boy that suddenly out of the blue discovers he has a disease or a type of syndrom that is deadly or just very interesting and complicates life. I want it so he can still live everyday as normal as possible so he can interact for a while, but gradually becomes less able to cope with reality. I am not very smart about any syndromes or diseases, so I come here to ask of you to help a writer out. Please and thanks. I'm not too sure if I explained it very well, so if there's some confusion just ask any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPuncher Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 use croup or bronchitis. I had to spen a few weeks in an oxygen tent when I was about 3, and I couldn't imagine how that would change things in my life now. Something like that would work well for your plot development becaue it really creeps up on a person. He'd probably think it was cancer, which would also add to the conflicts. AND you could tie in a smoking message and be a hero. yay for the hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoEZ Posted February 22, 2003 Author Share Posted February 22, 2003 By smoking message you mean a message implieing(sp) that marijuana is good? I'm probably misinterpreting(sp) your advice there, so explain a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPuncher Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 no no... he's terified that it's lung cancer, so an anti-cigarette message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoEZ Posted February 22, 2003 Author Share Posted February 22, 2003 Anti-cigarette huh. I'm not reallyanti-cigarette. I don't smoke, but I don't really care what oher people do to there bodies. It's there life they will suffer the consiquences they recieve. And the other book with Lech Nyian, I can't use that can I. It wouldn't be original.

Guest KING BLING Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 you'll have a more interesting time making up a disease and playing the "new disease" aspect into your plot. Anything else and it could easily become the story of Michael J Fox or Ryan White...there is a disease out there where the bodies immune system attacks the body as if it were a disease, eventually killing it but not immeadiately (possibly prolonged by medicine). That could offer some good metaphorical content if you are interested....but yeah.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoEZ Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 A new disease would be interesting, but I actually wanted to use a real disease. Well thanks for what you've contributed already. Time to go do some research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricitySucks Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 will he kill himself in the end or the disease kills him, or whatever just make a good bad ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimo Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 that he fucks a girl for his first time and gets syphilus.. teach the lesson of absitence/ using a rubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoEZ Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 That's what i was thinking of doing. I'm so sick of happy endings. Fuck em' I say, Fuck em'. If it's a disease, I'll probably have it kill him. If it's a mental disorder he might kill him self. But who knows, can't give away the ending if I don't know it yet now can I?
