Meet Kieran

OK, before i get rambling i have a couple of things to say (whether they're worth your time or not i don't know but I'm damnn exited about them)

1. FIRST FOLLOWER! I logged on this morning and there was this unfamiliar little green thing in the corner. I'M SO HAPPY! i was honestly expecting this blog to float about talking to air for the rest of it's life ;)

2. Just look at my beautiful new laptop! I'm finally getting my own laptop and wireless in our house on Thursday which means more time to write in peace for me and more posts for you! Now i just need to figure out how to fit the piano into my room...

3. I just found the spellcheck button. That makes things so much easier for me.

Right, so on with today's post. I thought maybe I'd just introduce Kieran to the world wide web a bit more. In my messed up, dreamy little brain, he is by far the most prominent character, and I don't know if anyone else who writes might understand, but it's almost as if I've come to know him as a person rather than just words in a note book.

I don't know if anyone has ever read one of those blogs that authors create which are basically their characters blogs. All the posts are written by their characters as a sort of extension to the story they tell in their books, but also a different way to get news across (try taking a look at http://mysocalledundeath.blogspot.com/, an awesome example, but also an amazing young adult series). I've always loved this idea, so every now and then I'm going to step back and let my characters step up to the.. uh... keyboard.

Hey, nice to meet you. It's good to stretch my fingertips after being caught up in such an emotional whirlwind for so long. So much had happened that nobody has even scratched the surface of in the things they've written. Soon I'll have my say.

But enough of that depressing reminiscent stuff. I'm here to tell you about the here and now, about myself, well, as much as I can without ruining the story for you.

My name is Kieran Swallow, I'm 15 years old, 16 come October. To some of you that might seem so young, but I've already lost enough to last a life time. I'm 6'1, sandy blond hair and blue eyes that Scarlett has always said look like oceans. Basically one of those pretty teen fiction stereotypes- not that I'm complaining, and not that I care, I've got my soul mate. Even if it isn't exactly conventional at the moment.

I think that's all I can write for now, considering you are yet to meet or even find out about most of the prominent things in my life, the things which have basically shaped me since i first locked gazes with Scarlett across the playground ten years ago.

So it's goodbye for now, but look back for part two of soul searching soon, hopefully things will start to make more sense...

Kieran.
