Making Characters

Hi,

Sorry I didn't write for a few days. I have been tossing around different ideas that my novel could go in. While watching Lady and the Tramp the other day, I came up with an interesting concept. Why not write a Young Adult novel having animals portray humans for young adults. At first I thought this was the stupidest thing my brain had ever conjered up. Upon asking around, though, I learned using animals as characters for young adult and even adult books was actually quite common. All I have to do is come up with an original plot and flesh out my characters. I'm definately not looking forward to this part of writing my book. I wish someone could complete these tasks for me. Oh well! I am off to get started. Procratinating won't make the job any easier.
