Young Adult

Hello blogging world!
I finally set up a blog and of course I can't think of anything to write. This is when the rule, just start writing, comes in handy. I'm new at this whole publishing a book thing. In fact, I'm new to a lot of things. I've been out of high school for around a year and a half but it seems like I should still be there. I'm discovering new things about aduthood everyday. So far, I've discovered that the so called adulthood we are told about in our youth, doesn't exist. It is different for every person. Adulthood does not mean taking on responsiblities, after all, those who are living on the streets are adults. Adulthood is nothing but a legal term, providing a new rulebook for life. I have an idea of what kind of life I would like to live. It is a vague idea full of opportunities to fail. I rely on my guidlines to survive each day. I know that money is not half as important to me as the chance to help other people. Many writers only want their ideas to be heard. I want my novel to be successful for this reason. The more people that read it, the better chance I have at being heard. I don't expect everyone out there to agree with the opinions in my book. There are a lot of important ideas and opinions that are part of our culture that I might not agree with but are worth studying. No opinion can be properly formed without opposition and careful research, otherwise it is just an assumption. I have a lot of opinions worth studying in the novel I hope to publish soon. The working title, "Westbrook", is the first of a series and includes a little bit of everything in it. There is adventure, comedy, philosophy, and romance. It can be whatever the reader makes it. This blog is the story of an author attempting to publish a book, but it is also the story of a young adult, figuring out how to accomplish a long standing dream. I don't know what the end of this story is going to be like. I hope that someday I will look back on this post and think about how inexperienced I was. I hope I will look back as a successful author of a well known book. I hope I will remember how nervous and excited I was when I wrote this post. Now, I'm off to do much more than hope. I know what I want and I am going after it. Wish me luck.
