So I've been thinking about writing a novel, here's a super quick summary of the plot, just tell me what you think.

So the protagonist is an intelligent, sensitive, young man, about 20, (somewhat resembling me but only slightly) who has recently begun to question the purpose of life. Then because of a family incident he has to make a trip to his hometown which is in another state but because he's afraid of flying he chooses to drive all the way.

On the way he picks up a cute redheaded full-breasted hitchhiker about his age, maybe better one or two years younger, who then shows him on the road trip why life is still worth living and leads him on a journey of self-exploration. They also totally get it on. Later we find out that she only has a short time to live and wanted to see the ocean before it was all over. The protagonist is of course saddened by her death but understands that her last act of kindness was her leading him on the right path.

The missing sections are filled with eating ice cream and looking at the stars at night wondering how strange it is to be anything at all.

So, opinions?
