The story I need to tell

In the summer before eighth grade, I had an idea for a story. I know, I have ideas all the time, but this one has stayed with me ever since. I fell in love with the characters and the story that they were telling. I'm not sure how it would have ended, I never actually thought that far into it. I do know that one day, I need to get around to rewriting it. The very beginning of it was a prologue that was somewhat lengthy, but overall I think it sets the story up exactly right. So here's what I've been thinking. Since I love the main characters so much, but don't really like the setting and a few other big plot points, I'm going to start it over. I think that it's about time that I finish a story don't you? Unless it's total crap, I'm going to finish this one. As added incentive to finish, I'm making up a deadline and posting the countdown on this blog. That way, I can pretend like I have a time limit that I have to stick to. Also, I will be posting a few excerpts on here, but no lengthy ones. I sort of want to keep this under wraps until I know I'm going to finish it :)
