To start, i would like to you all to read this:

The very first post ever made on the Trek, a little more than a year ago.
I was lying in bed tonight, thinking about us and how awesome we are and all the stuff we've been through together. And I thought, I wonder if other people lead lives like us?
It made me think of all the bad teen novels that I've personally read (And trust me, there were manyyyy) as well as all the good teen novels that I read (also very many) and I thought about why I enjoyed those books and what made me want to keep reading books like that.
My answer was that they all lead these crazy, unbelievable fantasy lives that could never actually be feasible in "real life". But then that made me think, wait, could my life be considered by someone else "unrealistic"?
I guess that point I'm getting at, is what do you ladies think about us writing a novel about us from the start of the Trouser Trek? Not to like, publish or anything, but just for us. something that we can pull out and remember everything with years down the road when this blog may be lost or forgotten. (Granted, with the internet being the internet, its pretty hard to lose anything. lol)
Just throwing that out there :P I thought it'd be cool for us to write our own "bad teen novel". Maybe our lives are just as impossible as good ol' Bella's ;)

Certainly an ambitious project but it's kind of what I had in mind as what our blog would be. The only difference here is that our blog posts aren't (always) grammar/spelling controlled and the style can change quite frequently.
ReplyDeleteI also think that if we were to book-ify this past year we would need to add in those things that we emailed each other and some of the things that we didn't talk about or might have *ahem*V*ahem* deleted.
Yes! I think this is a fantastic idea Michele! I love having side projects and this would be a big one!
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of logistics to work out as Dina said, but we can do that over the holidays.
I agree about the emails and I have a hunch there is one specific email of per-emptive squee you mean...
And yes Dina... I will add back in the things I deleted.
this Blog kind of is our bad teen novel.
