Basically, the first chapter tells the basics about who I am. A little bit about what I believe. It also talks a little about burning and it explains the Butterfly Project. It also introduces the characters Spencer, Kristen, Uriel "Urey", and Sloan. I've told you guys this I think, but I'm gonna say it again: Kristen is Twitch, Urey is Nick, Sloan is Ivey, and Spencer is Sami.
It doesn't go very far into detail being that Sloan and Urey get seperate books. Also, "Spencer" doesn't know I'm writing a book yet, but I'm not gonna go too far into detail (I'm not gonna say anything that she would want to keep private) but I DID say that you'd have to know my story in order to know hers. What I meant by that is that you'd have to know what me and Nick went through. And I'm gonna tell about that in the book. I'm gonna tell everything.
I don't wanna say too much in this because the point is to summarize, not to give it all away. But, yeah, I introduced those characters. As far as Kristen is concerned, Twitch knows about my book, she knows she's in it, she knows she's one of my bestest friends in the book (haha) and she knows her false name. Here's the deal: I'm not sure how much I'll be able to tell about her personal life. She's gonna read Chapter 1 next weekend when she comes over. I'll talk to her about it then and see how far into details I can get. I really hope she lets me tell the whole story.
The purpose of me writing these books is this (I have 3 reasons):
(1) It's theraputic for me
(2) There are people out there who've been through what I'm going through, what my "characters" have gone through, or are currently going through worse, so that they can know someone understands or that they are not alone, that should be theraputic for them as well.
(3) Let's face it. All thick books are either boring, redundant, or unrealistic, and most movies are either chick flicks, horror films, or guy flicks (lots of sex and shit blowing up). These books are about something real...something that society doesn't want to think about. Doesn't want to acknowledge. This is something that will make you laugh, make you cry, piss you off, or just take a step back to look at yourself. Something that might inspire you. Something that will make you see the truth in things. Something that will make you think.
I'm not gonna use a lot of really big words to make it seem like I'm smarter than you or make you feel dumb. I might, however, use a few because they paint the picture a bit better. But so everyone is clear, I will be using a thesaurus. You guys know how inarticulate I am.
Okay, well I gotta pee, then I gotta do my chores, then I gotta do Latin and The Iliad (I'll do the Iliad first since I've already got my blog pulled up) so peace peeps!!
P.S.
Enjoy this picture of...whatever I pick.
