Is There a Story Here?

It was suggested that this school setting would be a possible inspiration for writing. You would think that with a student body of near 1,000 students between the ages of 10 and 15 there would be some juicy plot to exploit. Well, one thing for sure is that there is plenty of conflict to be found. Sometimes, it seems that way, anyway.

I have toyed with the idea of writing some kind of story with a school setting or backdrop. Maybe focus on a teacher or a student, or a group of students. However, I have read very few MG/YA novels that I am not sure if I should do it. I know I can do it if I put my mind to it, though. I've proven that to myself over the years. Maybe I should. We'll see. I'll use this school year to revise KILLER EYES. But I will keep my eyes open for a good story during the course of this year, and when Summer comes, it could be that I'll be ready to write it.
