A Novel Journey

Hello one and all! Here I will document my thoughts, ideas, and some inspirations I either come up with on my own or find the internet to share as I take the journey to write a novel. This way, hopefully I'll be able to inspire myself to keep at it and not give up! I hope all of you who are on a similar journey feel the same <3

Oh my goodness!  clockstrikesblack&#8217;s character description of her protagonist, Emeline De Vane (sorry, I spelled her name wrong on the picture!), was so cool that I had to draw it D:It&#8217;s awesome characters like this that make stories worth reading C: Good characters need to be complex, and from this description, Emeline sounds wonderfully so! &lt;3I hope   clockstrikesblack doesn&#8217;t mind that I did this D: If you like Alice in Wonderland-esque things, g to her page and look through her stuff- you&#8217;ll be happy you did!

An article after my own heart <3

In this article, Roz Morris discusses the need for simple tools of the writing trade: grammar, grammar, grammar. As writers, grammar should come almost instinctively. Even if it doesn’t, writers should care about the quality of their work just as much as the interest factor of their work.

A quick sketchy-sketch of what I imagine (kinda) my protagonist, Mira, to look like! I&#8217;m not really good with the realistic style as I&#8217;m actually more familiar with the manga style, but meh, here&#8217;s my effort! If you want her bio, read on. If you don&#8217;t, well&#8230; don&#8217;t! &lt;3



Name: Elamira (Mira) StarlingAge: 17Hair: BlackEyes: GreenMira is a very down to earth girl- she has a quick wit and a sharp tongue which strongly contrast with her delicate feelings and strong sense of compassion. She is the descendent of House Starling, much to her ignorance, and a possible candidate for the throne. She is unfamiliar with Tyrria (the kingdom in the other world) as she was raised in our world. A tough cookie, she will go down fighting.
