I always start stories with a word or a quote in its own paragraph that I explain immediately afterwards. It work however I think it turns the reader away because it is only too simple.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.

I was thinking more of how to develop each character. How should I introduce them? What would capture the reader's attention to want to know more?

Explain them as your main character meets them. Of course that is the easy way out.
I'm thinking, if anyone has any banana Nesquik or any sort of milk flavouring, it tastes awesome in tea rather than sugar.
I don't know if it is healthier, I must find out.

I'm going to steal a method from one of my favorite authors...my main character is going to have hazel eyes that change from clue to green to brown based on his mood. The method is that my character can be identified by the description of his eyes.

Awesome. I don't know much about that side of writing anyway. And I'm a thirteen year old kid with my head in the clouds.
I just did fifty starjumps, that is my excercise done.

A single cup of wine, when drunk in moderation, can feel like an entire ocean.

You are too young to drink.
I'm very critical, but it is bad for you. Well, it isn't going to kill you to have one glass, but it isn't a good habit to get into.
I'd continue but I'd only argue with you. Of course it is none of my business so for once I'll try not to butt in any more thaan I already have.

Actually, a glass of wine daily is medically proven to improve your health...
Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
the whole boatload of sensitive!

Yea. That is a plus side.
However for our darling DB, he is underage and should stay put until it is legal. Laws are made for a reason.
That's probably only my opinion though. Alcohol is one of those topics that seems to get on my nerves...

That's my Nurse Toni
Thank you Heathcliff for your concern, I really do appreciate it, but believe me when I say that MANY MANY kids my age consume about as much alcohol in a night as I do in six months.
Wine is a beautiful calmer when sipped in moderation. Don't worry, I'm a big boy

Yea, yea. I know. I'm incredibly over-protective though. One of my friends is about your age, drinks only as much as you seem to. Got drunk once and stuff happened. I worry too much.Thank you Heathcliff for your concern, I really do appreciate it, but believe me when I say that MANY MANY kids my age consume about as much alcohol in a night as I do in six months.

Be careful, just make sure you know what you're doing.

It's not very boring, as I was thinking it would be. Hopefully I'll finish it soon.

I can't believe that I forgot to use the hair conditioner in the shower this morning...
I pretty much look like a dandelion.
