Signature

Decided to design a new signature to go with the new layout. Hope you like it and I think I might love it .

Plan on seeing it over and over again in the weeks to come.

Tonights The Night

That's "write" baby. Tonight is the night that we get National Novel Writing Month started. At midnight fingers across the world will start to express all the creativity that we have been bottling up since October first began; maybe even July.

It is so exciting to be doing this again for the second year in a row. I feel like I have a better back story this year so I think my foundation is stronger. Plus I am in love with my characters. I haven't even began to really tell their story but it seems like every time I start thinking about writing they surprise me.

I have a few things to do before the night really gets started, including taking a nap, so I need to get going so that I have everything set.

See ya in the AM.

Character Study: Characters

We all want to know what our characters will look like and although we all have a look for them in our own heads I want to show you what they look like in my head.

Character Study: Cars

You can't have a house like the one the Hunts have and not have kick-butt cars.

In reality these are just the cars I wish I could have but since I can't afford them at the moment my characters get to life out my fantasies.

Character Study: Homes

If you know me then you know that one of my favorite things to do is watch HGTV. How does that relate to my writing you might ask? Well, when I start a story then I need to be able to see the area. I want to know where my characters are going to live, drive, hang out and all things in between. So the next few post will be deticated to my main characters and where they live and drive.

Welcome to the Hunt family home:

Did a Cover Too....

I know that I should be concentrating on getting my plot together and flushing out my characters but I just couldn't until I came up with a cover. It's really silly but there you have it. What kind of writer am I?

Anyway, I came up with this cover and I wanted to share it with you. Now I am off to work on my synopsis. Be back later.

Story Banners

Okay here are the banners that I am working with for my NaNoWriMo Novel. "Crash Into Me" is a working title for me write now but it might change. I will keep you posted and look for a synopsis coming soon.

National Novel Writing Month Banners 2010

We have new banners for the year and I just wanted to share my couple favorites. I hope you like them and if you decide to join and write to along with us then check out the site and sign up.

Wow My Schedule Went South For The Summer

I know, I know. I had this great schedule of how I was going to update and share all that I was doing with you and how my writing was coming and now it's months later and I am just now adding anything.

Part of the problem was that in starting this blog I really got into web and blog design. I took some time off from writing to take a few classes and learned quite a lot. This blog is still on my list to redesign in the near future but that put an amazing cramp in my writing time and my focus. So I have had a really productive design and photography summer but not so much writing. Truthfully I haven't really written anything and I also haven't been updating my other blogs either. I have really just been working on design.

However in just 31 short days guess what starts????

NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH!!!

That's right. The catalyst that re-invigorated my writing in the first place. Last year I completed the 50,000 word but not the novel. I edited it this May but still need an ending. With that in mind you would think that would be the story that I would be planning on working on this November but no. I actually have a new idea that has been playing around in my head for like months and I really think that it is about time that I sit down and really sketch it out and get something down on paper.

So that is my goal this time around. To not just write 50,000 words but to finish the novel and get it edited so that my free printed copy doesn't go to waste like it did last year.

This means that I will once again be updating everyday of November with my word count and my progress as well as ideas and story synopsis as we get closer to the start. I also think this year that I am going to update great tips that I get from other writers as I go through the month. The point is that I will be back in full swing and really focused. I might even make it to all the write-ins and the after party!!

Wish me luck and I will be updating soon. I PROMISE :).
