Just talkin' about mah Johnny boy.

For some reason whenever I hear about, or read about, or meet someone named John, I always call them Johnny Boy. For instance Johnny from The Outsiders, and Johnny Depp. No idea why. And one of my favorite fellas named John is maybe this guy.

So tonight I drank three caffinated sodas so I think I'll be up a while. But I have to make this quick.

I've been straining so hard to come up with a good idea for a novel. I've always wanted to become a YA novelist and be famous and stuff. Well not exactly be famous (just to matter). I would just want someone to read my book and experience my ideas. I've been writing since the day I picked up my fat red pencil in kindergarten. I have so many stories in my brain and some on paper. I have so many ideas for videos on YouTube and all that but I just don't know how to express it.

I could be expressing something now as I'm writing this blog. I just don't think any of this would make a very good novel. But this blog is just me writing what's popping into my head on the spot and many books are like that. All of those books are usually in the first person. Random images spewing out of the author's head and onto the page. I find it truly amazing.

Now, at 10:13pm, June 13, 2009, I realized how many unique, creative influences I have. But I'm sure that most of my creative juices come from reading so darn much. And from my friends and from inspirational videos (i.e. The Beckoning of Lovely). But just trying to work all of this information being thrown at me into one relevant idea is so difficult.

Maybe all of these thoughts are a bit up close and personal with my funky little brain but I'm just writing what I feel. So I'm going to stop oozing boring stuff and go read some more.

thanks!
