Exciting stuff, amiright?
Anyway, I just wanted to take some time to talk about my most recent obsession - writing.
This past November, I participated in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) where authors are challenged to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days - and I did it :)
The book I wrote is called Ravensboro, and it's a Young Adult Fantasy book. If you're interested in YA books, Fantasy books, or just my writing in general, let me know if you'd like access to my super-secret book blog :) Sequel is pending.
There are two other books I've been working on for quite some time now, and these are open to be perused by the public:
- Camp Tandy - this is a fictionalized account of the summer I worked as a counselor at Camp Gilead in 2007. Names and circumstances have been changed to protect certain identities ;)
- The ITDS - this was a super-ambitious Sci-Fi story that I started awhile back. I didn't plan out the plot or anything before I started writing it, and I'm afraid I wrote myself into a corner, so I don't plan on adding anything to it anytime soon.
And here are three books I have an idea for that I haven't started writing yet:
- Kissing the Waves - basically, this is a Christian Fiction book about five women who are friends and how their Faiths are tested by miscarriage, marriage problems, and men problems.
- Untitled - I haven't named this book yet, but I got an idea from hanging out with my niece, Bella, and discussing which Disney princesses are best. This story has to do with a young girl who is sucked into a world where fairytale villains are imprisoning princesses. The young girl has to rescue the princesses, and in doing so, restore her faith in all things fairytale.
- Nearly Dead Naomi - Honestly, I just got the idea for this book JUST THIS MORNING. It's about a girl named Naomi who escapes death and lives her life as half-human, half-ghost, trying to stay off Death's radar and have a normal social life at the same time.
So, do any of these stories strike your fancy? Or are you more of a non-fiction type reader? Because lemme tell you, I'm not much of a non-fiction type writer, so my stuff might not be for your eyes. The more encouragement I get for one particular story, the more apt I am to focus on writing that story, so FEEDBACK people! :)
