Day Five

Alright, so it's the beginning of Day 5 of NaNoWriMo! I'm still not very sure where my novel is going to go, but I keep telling myself that I have time to figure that out. We'll see :)

In other news, I spent some time last night trying to decide if I actually liked one of my two main characters, and if it wouldn't just be better if I had him killed off. I haven't killed off a character in a long time... and I have to think of what implications that would have for the rest of the characters and the story. Still, it's always good to try out something new! On the other hand, I don't want this to be a particularly dark novel, and I don't want to be flippant about a main character's death... so I guess I'll figure it out

Also, I can tell that this is going to be a long month. I can see now that there's a very good case for planning out where a novel's going to go before you sit down and start writing it. :)

IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE

I mean, what's two years in the life of an indifferent blogger? Just a blink of the eye. So, kudos to me, it's not NaNoWriMo and I'm updating my blog!!!!! Anyway I thought I'd update the ol' Spete Blog with my newest publication announcement! Two (2) short stories! Both are older (3+ years old) works that I decided on a whim to publish ( read as: I was working on my novel and had fallen into a pit of despair because it's so long and I'm never going to finish the thing and I dismally remembered that I haven't published anything since Andrian Adventures like 10 years ago and what is even the point of keeping all my old stories to myself on my laptop if I'm just going to stare sadly at them day and isn't it much better to publish them and then stare sadly at the 0 Sales report instead ) .  They're fractured fairy tales of the silliest sort. Also, both take place in the kingdom of Atlis. I have done so much world building f...

This is Not a Drill

FRIENDS I DID IT. I MADE A BOOK. Hold onto your pants folks, for coming in mid-April is As the King , a Young Adult Fantasy novel full of sword-fights, wicked uncles, and mistaken identities!   ( it has none of those things, don't listen to me) ~~~ (artwork by the amazing Marion !) This is Elisan, our intrepid heroine. She is unfashionably freckled but please don't hold it against her.  She was shipped off by her family to live with a foreign aunt and uncle at a young age with no explanation why. While traumatizing at the time, she's now decided was for the best, as she is quite content with her life. Elisan enjoys climbing trees, drinking tea, boxing, and dancing. She is not an accomplished artist, thinks she's a better actor than she really is, and  will  fight you if you insult one of her friends. She can currently be found boarding a train back to Verica, having just received a mysterious letter which claims she's th...
