Ozymandias (My favorite poem) by Percy Bysshe Shelley

"And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'"
~Percy Bysshe Shelley

The plot:: As i see it at the moment....

I am not very good at figuring out how to describe the story line of this book.  I see everything in my head, and i can write out the story on paper i just cant... summarize it.   So i would appreciate it if you would give me a little faith that it's not as bad as it sounds.  HERE GOES.

Isabelle Speed and her little brother Oliver Speed come from a line of Silver Eyes who are descended from the Gods, giving them the power to control the elements. When Oliver and their father, Victor Speed, get taken by a gang of Raiders, Izzy and her crew must embark on her second journey as captain of The Excavator to save them.  In the process of freeing them two things are discovered: Izzy learns that there is a last Society of Silver Eyes on the planet Equol and Captain Rarsh and the raiders are planning to attack it, and Oliver learns he has the power to connect to other people's minds with his own and create force fields.  As Izzy and Oliver work to save the Silver Eye colony from the raider attack, Izzy learns that things are much worse than she believed, and she must be careful not to destroy herself in the process of saving everyone she loves.

My Adventure Begins

I've always loved writing more than anything else (except band) and when i finally had an idea to really work with.... i jump in it. 
My idea began with a girl who could control the elements and it took off from there. 
Did you ever think about what super power you would have if you could have one? I DID! and mine was that i would control the elements.  So Isabelle Speed (my main character) gets to do what i wish i could.  Along with more than i would ever want to.
Next i had to give her friends and family, because creating characters is FUN
She became the Captain of the ship The Excavator that she had inherited from her father.  And her crew became my main characters. 
I started writing.
This book really started out as a short story, but as i wrote i saw potential and i started thinking that maybe i could actually write a book.  The short story became the first chapter to the book and i went from there. 
Now i needed a more developed plot than what id been fantasizing about.  I needed villains, struggle, adventure, love, strength, epicness.
I now have my fully developed ideas with just a few holes that i need to fix up.  In fact, i have the whole first rough draft done of my book because i started this blog a little late.  OOPS. oh well.
My journey has begun, and although i am a bit farther along the actual path than this blog entry says, i still have many challenges to come.
