So that past couple of days I've been OBSESSED with the "Jane Eyre" (from this year) soundtrack. It is just absolutely gorgeous! It was composed by Dario Marinelli, the same guy to did "Pride and Prejudice" with Keira Knightly in it, which was also amazing. This soundtrack is more dark and moody, but still has that magical sound that just takes you away like "Pride and Prejudice" did. I seriously just keep lying around and listening to it, daydreaming. Heck, I even listened to it for the full hour I was on the elliptical today! It has totally captured me.
Anyway, my daydreams always consist of some story or movie that I make up in my mind. Of course they're romances, because I'm a girl, and that's what we do. I've been running around a few different ones the past few days, but there's one I thought up today that I really like. So much, in fact, that I think I'm going to write a book.
Yep. I'm writing a book!
Now don't get me wrong, this book is most definitely NOT going to be the greatest or most original thing ever written, I can promise you that. But I've always liked making up stories, and I feel like this one could actually make sense. It'll be along the lines of a Jane Austen book, I suppose. It will most definitely be around the same time period of her books, or maybe around the time of the Bronte sisters' books, like "Jane Eyre" (see why this story's in my head? It's the soundtrack, I tell you!) or "Wuthering Heights."
I don't know how the easiest way to go about this is, since I'd like to type it on my laptop, but it doesn't work anymore, and I don't really want to type it on my parents' computer, because I'm afraid they'll read it, and I don't think I want anyone reading it until I'm good and ready for them to. I know some people will type stories in a blog, chapter by chapter, but I don't know if I'll be writing the book totally in order. At the moment I have different sections of the book really thought out, and kind of know how I want to string things together, but I'm just not sure. Does anyone know of a way for me to type this out without people reading it? Because a notebook is just not an option! I would go insane from trying to handwrite everything. So, your suggestions are welcome!

you could write you book using google documents that way it saves it for you all the time and then you can access it anywhere from any computer... or do it using a blog - and make it private.
