Introduction

OK. So here we go. I've never written a novel before and I'm pretty nervous. Being only 17 and still at school who knows where this could take me? I'm determined to stick to it though, and if I come anywhere near that 50,000 word target I'll have something to show for my efforts. I'm studying Advanced Higher English this year and although that will mean nothing to most of you it basically means that I'm studying the highest level of English you can do in Scotland, while still at school. It is comparable with 1st year University English, I hear... though don't hold me to that!

I haven't got much of an idea as to where this novel is going to go, and I thought it a little unfair they prompted us for a title right at the beginning! But I suppose it might do some good... At the moment I'm playing with the idea of this novel being a first person look at the world from the eyes of someone with a hellishly overactive imagination. I like those books where you feel so drawn in because the narrator wanders off into how they see their own little world around them. Know what I mean? Maybe you don't, but that's what I'm going for anyway. Wish me luck!
