Potential Author Blog?

Ok, so it has been about seven months since I last posted.  Bad blogger.

I'm thinking about turning this page into an author blog, although I don't exactly know what that all entails.  Probably just talking about my writings and hopefully getting feedback.  So here goes:

I'm working on a manuscript that I would love to get published and make into a series.  Most of the characters have been in my head for almost 10 years, and I've revamped the story about three or four times until I actually had a concept that I liked and could really work with.  So far I'm 47k words in and probably a little over half way through the story I want to tell.

The working title at the moment is The Academy, but that will probably change, like it does.  The simplest way I can describe the concept is Mission Impossible The Wonder Years.  I always wondered how Tom Cruise's character because such a bad ass spy, so I decided to write this.  It's told from the protagonist's point of view and details how she goes from being a student in a military school in a Special Ops program to how she and her two friends become spies.  It's a lot of intrigue and action, with a healthy dose of humor, and a hint of romance.  There's also betrayal, secrecy and heartbreak; a journey of self-discovery and just where she draws the line.  She has to decide which is worse: to betray herself or to betray her country?

Hopefully that sounds interesting.

Any and all comments are appreciated,
