Something that may never take off....

I've always wanted to write a book. Like a fiction book not political or anything. Haha, dont let my first blog post fool you.

I have a world and characters that I can write about but as far as main characters go I'm kinda unable to think of anything. Should I do a boy or girl? What should I call them? How did they get there? Ok, now how do I explain that process to the average person?

It all sounds easier when I write it like that. :P

The truth is I'm stuck on the boy or girl, naming thing. Every time I think I have a character or set of characters that I like I turn around and with something like "oh wait I named them what?" or "I don't see where that was going."

I also have a serious issue with Mary Sues. I dont wanna end up with one, but they are soooo easy to make by accident. Just a few wrong words and misplaced flaws can render a character a Mary Sue with no hope of recovery. Does anyone know of a good way to not end up with these? or is the only answer to toss the character and start over?

Well anyway if I get something I'm willing to share I might post it here....I dont know what I'm going to use this blog for otherwise.... :\
