What Am I thinking?

Am I really going to attempt to do a Blog Novel? Heck - I just started my first blog today. Nothing like being ambitious, I suppose, but I should have learned by now to take new things slow. Typical Aries impulsiveness leading me astray.

I've been writing in a paper journal at home nightly for the past few weeks, so I'll just transfer that to this blog, doing my writing online. At the very least I'll save a few dollars in ink, at the most I'll end up with something that I can work with.

My goal is not to come up with something that is worth publishing. Nope, the bar is set much lower for me.

My goal is to work on creating scenes that really show the characters and their actions, rather than telling.

For example: Amy lifted up the cold can of Diet Coke, placed it to her lips and let the bubbly drink explode in her mouth, caressing her throat on the way down.

Rather than: Amy took a drink of Diet Coke.

Boy Crazy is (or rather, will be) about a boy crazy teenager. Ha! Unique title, you say. It will be a semi-autobiographical novel that is inspired on events of my rather colorful past. Hopefully it will be humorous. Hopefully it will be fun. Hopefully I won't be making a rather large public nuisance, but luckily the internet is nothing if not anonymous.
