My Novel Aspirations

I laid out a very very general plot outline for the book I want to write. I figure I love to read, and I love to write, and, per my mom, have a very vivid imagination when writing (Inside joke, tee hee). I'm still working on some sort of plot catch or twist that would make people want to read it. I don't actually plan on trying to get it published, I'm nowhere near that good at writing, but who can honestly say that they have written a BOOK. So I'm working for the next few months developing good character personalities & relationships.

I'm hoping I will get a laptop for Christmas, or something, because I would like to be able to write comfortably. Sitting at my dinner table in my uncomfortable wooden chair for any extended period of time just doesn't inspire me into action. So for now, its outlines & such. I figure if I develop my story for the next few months I should be able to actually start the writing portion this winter. That's the plan at least. It is always nice to have something worthwhile to do in your spare time. Reading is a good past time, but I read so quickly that its becoming expensive, since I buy each book in order to read it.

I may be crazy, but it makes me feel like I'm doing something interesting. Maybe I will let people read parts of it, maybe not. It all depends on how bad it stinks... I may be too embarrassed to show anyone. I may be so bad at it that I refuse to even continue, OR, I could be good at it. Who knows until you try right?!
