It\’s NaNoPrep month, so I\’m working on what I need to get this novel out in November. Tonight, I created the book cover. I used a lotus flower, wings, and some energy stuff. That\’s the technical explanation. I used to use Microsoft Image Composer for all of my picture creations, but this time I usedContinue reading “Cover Me Happy!”

The Plan … Best Laid of Course
The plan is to retype \”Bleak\”, so I have a digital copy to edit in the future. The bigger part of this plan is to reacquaint myself with this 5 year old story to chose my main characters for the 2015 NaNoWriMo starting November 1st.
