Trying to figure out a new opening without a book so that no one will see it coming.

Hmm, the first problem I see is that you drop a pawn for no compensation I can imagine, as 2...exf4 3.gxf4?? Qh4# would be one of the shortest games ever.

I'd have to use the king's pawn then instead of my knight which gives him a good lead

Another idea is to play 1. g3 and only play 2. f4 against moves other than 1. ... e5. Against 1. ... e5 you can play a Sicilian Dragon with reversed colors up a tempo.

I try to make up many openings.  All are rather sound, but some have been made up already and have been given a name.  But I have added a lot of theory on the Lundin Defense and also play a very sound gambit against the Caro-Kann I made up.  Keep making up openings!  It is highly rewarding.

Try the grob or the orangutan.

They're playable and very trappy, you'll get a lot of quick wins....and you'll get crushed a lot too but that comes with the territory :)
