I’ve given you three distinct story openings featuring male leads with three distinct problems.
Djinn - Khalid. A story set in the modern middle east, with roots deeply embedded in the Muslim faith. Who is Nadira? Do you know the roots of Jinn, how can those kind of differences be overcome?
Kolbe - Is the lead character named Kolbe, or is it someone else who simply encountered Kolbe? Catholic, at least for anyone who knows the reference for the title. Drug use is there, freedom to change around scenery. Gritty, dirty, but not every hero rides the white horse.
Sehnsucht - Much closer to home for me. Unnamed lead. Catholic, with a nod to immortality of the spirit.
Can any of you take them from there? Give me the next step. Give me the idea, or write it yourself and I’ll post it (with due credit, of course) for you. The email, for those that want it, is sadistic.excess -[[[[at]]]]- gmail.com
You have set a hard task, to find the creativity and literacy of the high standard you set and lay it before you.
