The Stories

I'm trying to write a story right now. I have the idea in my mind, I just want to make sure I have it planned well before I begin writing it.

I want to be a good writer. No, I want to be a great writer. I want to write a book that will inspire someone. I've always wanted to do good for the world, and I think this is the best possible way for me to do that. I don't know when I'll write that book,  but I'm making a promise to myself that I will.

For now, I want to write a story that is fun, expresses me, and allows me to use a lot of creativity. Being a seventeen-year-old girl, I don't feel I am mature enough, or have the wisdom to write a great thought-provoking novel. With this in mind, I came up with my current story idea.

I call it: The Actor, The Rock Star, and The Best Friend.

I think I can work on that title, but I think it makes a good title for my story.

It's about a teen girl fresh out of high school who lives more in her little dream world than reality. She's completely convinced her true love is either a very famous actor or an up-and-coming popular young rock star. To see which is her soul mate, she decides to go on a journey to find each guy and make them fall desperately in love with her. Tagging along with her is her sensible and sweet guy best friend  who only goes to make sure she will be safe. Through it all, she finds her true self in the real world, and finds that love is closer and more real than she thinks.

So obviously she falls in love with her best friend. It's a simple love story, but with my own twist on things. In actuality, it's a journey of finding her true identity, with a love story added in to make things interesting. The girl travels across the country, then to England to find the rock star then the actor. A lot of the story will be about who she meets, what influences her and how she has influenced others.

I'm most afraid I won't finish it. I really hope I do, and if I edit and rewrite enough to make it almost perfect, I might just publish it. For now, it's still an idea. I hope it will become more though. No, it will become more, and I will love it and make sure people will be able to enjoy it just as much as I do. I need to think positive more often.
