I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year.
I’m insane, I know, what with intense classes and all the other stuff on my plate. It’s okay. I’m not as fanatical about winning as I was in 2010, which I did win…with a 50K plus novel that’s still unfinished.
I just want to get in the driver’s seat and start spinning down the road on this story. It’s been in my head for a good long while and it needs to come out.
I’ve been playing with pics and fonts and making a cover for it. That’s one of the fun parts of the NaNo experience (next to the writing and the camaraderie of 300 K plus other insane people in the world, of course). If you’re one of those insane people, feel free to buddy me on NaNo. We can encourage each other in our mutual craziness.
I’m putting up a synopsis of the story later in the week.
Meanwhile, I envision this young man on the cover as one of my POV characters, Rafael Errick, a Quell in hiding. I’m planning for Rafael to be one of my more intense characters. I picked a good image for him, I think…
Nice!
Thanks, Helen! I finally found the right pic for this project which makes me very happy. Rafael is by no means the main main character in this one but he will be someone of significance as the tale progresses. I am also still looking for a pic of Emery, a Bona (lady from noble family) warrior. Hard to find one, though. Pics of medieval looking ladies in battle gear are always so breast-y. Pics of women in general on stock sites emphasize breasts, which is sad, because it signifies that’s all women are. And Emery is so much more than her beautiful figure. But I’ll keep looking!
Thanks for your comment!
