Would you give me some ideas for a teenage love book?

Well, I'm a teenager. So, I thought this would be the perfect time to write a teenage love story, when I'm in the midst of all the teenage-ness, lolol. (:

Annyywaayy...

It's about this guy and he moved to a new school and has got this girl captivated from her first look at him.

But he has a dark secret.

Before he came to a regular highschool, he was in this spy-organization. And he went on an important mission to kill one of the most evil men in the world [I don't know what's so evil about him yet]. But, he failed. So, he was kicked out the spy-organization. But the man he tried to kill, is now out for revenge. TO KILL HIM. So, as him and the girl fall in love, he tries to stop her and himself from falling in love too deeply, because he doesn't want to put her in danger. So, the boy is trying to keep his past from the girl but it's not so easy...

So. Here is my question:

(1) What should the boy's name be?

(2) What should the girl's name be?

(3) Do you have any ideas for a storyline? [I like to keep my thinking juices flowing.]

(4) What's your BEST writing tip?

(5) Do you see any problems with my story line?

Thank y'all. :)

And if you have any other ideas, or comments, feel free to write them as well.

Lovelovelove,

Shelby.

    1.) Maybe something sort of unusual, like the name of an orphan kid they found in [fill in blank] because what right-minded parent would just give their child away to an organization like that?

    2.) Again, go unusual. Pick a name that was maybe popular about a generation ago, and hasn't had a chance to make a comeback yet (so you could ask your parents).

    3.) Just...keep it twisty. In this day and age, I don't think there is a really, really, REALLY original idea, so maybe a surprise ending? Maybe instead of calling him 'the most evil man in the world' (which could come off as a little cheesy) he could be a genius neo-nazi, or a serial killer.

    4.) Write it with someone who can spot-check for you, and read some authors that are the masters of suspense/horror/mystery.

    5.) Nothing seems to wrong. If you want, I could do some free-editing when I have time, if you're just in a rush to see if something works or not.

    3. what about rather than being kicked out he skips school at different times of the year to go on these missions?? -just an idea-

    4. write until you have been writing for a long time then stop! and continue the next day, so you have plenty of inspiration for the next day.

    5. not really, since I love reading, I think it's a great idea!

    You have this much. Don't demean yourself by acting like this is as far as you can go. You can further your plot by yourself--you don't need others.

    As to the questions...

    1. Don't care.

    2. Don't care.

    3. Your job.

    4. Write what YOU want to write, not what others tell you.

    5. I highly doubt any spy organization would a) recruit a teenager or b) let someone they fired just walk away when they could easily reveal their secrets.
