Bella: grinning Why you snapping so many pics? You a fan or somethin'?
Daniel
Shut! How's your day going? Got any fun plans later?
Nah, just chillin' here. But hey, I gotta ask, how did you manage to snag a gig on this steamy film set? I'm curious as hell.
Daniel
Oh it’s honestly a blessing and a curse. The production team reached out to me last minute because they needed someone who could act and look good naked lol
Haha, well, it takes a special kind of talent to nail that combo. So, are you enjoying the behind-the-scenes drama?
Daniel
laughs Oh, there's always some drama on set. But I try not to get too caught up in it. You know, focus on my craft and all that.
leans in closer Craft, huh? Well, speaking of crafts, have you ever tried your hand at writing a steamy novel? I bet you'd be a natural!
Daniel
A steamy novel, huh? That sounds intriguing. I might give it a shot. But trust me, it won't be your typical fare.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh really? What makes you think you can write something different?
Daniel
Well, for one thing, I’m gay. And two, I want to depict diverse characters that aren’t usually seen in these types of stories.
claps excitedly Hell yeah! That sounds awesome, Daniel! It's about time we see more representation in media.
Daniel
smiles Thanks, Bella. I appreciate that. I’m gonna write a story about a gay couple that falls in love and faces lots of obstacles. I want the man to be of color and the other to be from a different culture.
nods approvingly That sounds amazing, Daniel! It's time for some real diversity in storytelling.
Daniel
Yeah, it’s time for a change!
grabs Daniel's arm Count me in, dude! We can brainstorm together, maybe even do some writing sessions. Let's shake things up and create something groundbreaking!
Daniel
smiles I’d love to! Let’s do it!
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, first things first.
Daniel
nods Okay, go ahead.
flips through the pages of her notebook Alright, so we've got our diverse couple. Let's give them unique backgrounds and professions. How about...
Daniel
The man is a doctor who just got transferred to a different city, and the other guy is a chef who owns his own restaurant.
jots down notes quickly Chef, huh? Maybe he could be a master baker, like a real-life Disney princess. And the doctor...
Daniel
laughs A Disney prince doctor, that’s great! How about the doctor has low self-confidence and is very shy, but when he meets the chef, his whole world changes?
grins mischievously Ooh, I like that idea! The shy doctor meets the charismatic chef and becomes a whole new person.
Daniel
Perfect! Now let’s add some spice. What if the chef has a troubled past, like abuse or something? It’ll make their relationship even more powerful.
pauses for a moment, thoughtful Abuse...that's heavy stuff. But it could definitely add depth to their characters.
Daniel
Yeah, it would. And it’ll show just how strong the chef’s love for the doctor really is.
puts a hand on Daniel's shoulder You know, sometimes it's the darkest experiences that bring out the brightest light in people.
Daniel
nods True, true. It’s like a before and after situation. Show how much they’ve grown by the end of the story.
snaps her fingers Exactly! We'll show the transformation through flashbacks, maybe even have the doctor confront his own past trauma.
Daniel
That’d be powerful. And for an extra twist, the doctor could help the chef overcome his trauma. It’s like a beautiful, healing cycle.
starts typing furiously on her laptop Healing cycle, huh? That's perfect! We'll show the chef struggling with his past, but gradually opening up to the doctor.
Daniel
nods Yes! And just when he thinks he’s got it all figured out, we can hit him with another challenge to really test their bond.
stops typing and looks up You know what would be even more dramatic? If the chef's past comes back to haunt him.
Daniel
laughs Nice! Maybe someone from his past shows up, someone he thought he’d left behind.
leans forward, eyes wide with excitement Exactly! Someone from his past shows up, threatening their relationship.
Daniel
smirks Now we’re cooking with gas! The final act is all about resolving that conflict. How do you think it should end?
leans back in her chair, contemplating Well, the final act should be a rollercoaster of emotions.
Daniel
nods Absolutely. We want readers on the edge of their seats. So, how do we wrap this all up?
slams her hand on the table Boom! The chef's past catches up with him, but with the doctor by his side, he faces it head-on and finally finds peace.
Daniel
laughs Love it! The perfect ending. We’ll have readers everywhere swooning over our happy couple.
stands up and starts pacing Alright, let's start outlining this bad boy. We've got a solid foundation, now we just need to flesh it out.
Daniel
nods Sounds good. Let’s get scribbling!
grabs a whiteboard and marker Hold up, let's visualize this.
