EXCITED!

Warning: this post is a little long but hopefully, you can make it. You might like it.

I've been very excited about writing in the past couple of days--I'm on a roll! Though I haven't gotten back to writing the actual STORY, I am doing awesomely.

I think Lexicon is a God thing. I just feel like I NEED to do it. Do you ever feel like that? Like you just NEED to do something--not because someone's making you do it. You just know you need to do it.

Lexicon is definitely a different story from what I've usually written. I've been writing since I was 10 or 11 [do the math] and have mostly written fantasy (griffins, dragons, prophecies, etc.)--or sometimes sci-fi (cloning, robots, etc.). Lexicon (not the prequel) takes place on earth here and now. Though the main character (guess who--Lexicon!) is an extraterrestrial guy, the story has nothing to do with space ships or anything like that [though, he did bring a small, inconsequential piece of technology and a special plant from his home]. It's about US.

When I say "us", I mean teenagers--Christian and non--and their problems. Lexicon arrives and "rocks our world" so to speak. I feel that it's very important that this book gets written and, in time, made into a movie (though I want to be a big part of helping it become a movie--I don't want them doing too much tweaking to my baby!).

There are a few similarities to past works of mine--Lexicon has a "gift" (I think in all the stories I write, someone has a super-power/gift). Plus, he IS an alien so, yeah...

Well, I'm not sure how much I can tell you...I'm a little paranoid about posting my stuff on the internet.

When Lexicon touches things/people, he's given glimpses into its/their life. For instance, (in the very sci-fi short prequel) I had Lexicon pick up a Bible and he saw the tree where it came from growing and misc. people reading the book.

Did I mention that I'm excited? Sorry I'm not going to tell you anymore. Maybe when it gets published, you'll go buy it... :)

Well, okay, I'll tell you a little more. Here--I'll tell you what Lexicon looks like. He's tall [over 6 feet tall] and has bright red hair. His skin is white as a piece of paper and won't tan or burn because he photosynthesizes [though he does eat, too--photosynthesis is mostly a back-up mechanism]. So he soaks the sun in through his skin. (Hey, it's my story! I can make up a photosynthesizing alien if I want to! :P ) He has very good posture [he's the son of an emperor] and is very courteous.

Well, anyways, I hope I didn't bore you too much! I'm just so excited, I wanted to share some of what I was excited about.
