Covers!!!!!!

So, it's been a little while since I've posted here, I have been somewhat busy with school and holidays and stuff.  But this weekend, I designed some covers for my two current stories.   Lookit!

This is the cover I created for my fairytale stories(see this post for more information).  I absolutely LOVE the cartoonish ivy over the very realistic background, but I'm not positive I like the font.

And this is the cover I made for my NaNoWriMo novel, which I have changed the title of at least three times.  But I am completely in love with everything about this cover.  It's wonderful.

Any feedback about these covers would be appreciated, so let me know what you think!  Thanks for reading!

Here is your RANDOM QUESTION OF THE DAY!!

I got back into my old story!

So I decided to continue writing my old story, cause I got a really good idea today.  I forgot what it was in sixth hour, though.  I'm writing a YA novel, and basically, my main character and her boyfriend, plus her best friend, are running away to the Appalachian mountains.  They're gonna hike the Appalachian Trail!  It's gonna be fun!  The main reason I started writing that story again is because I still haven't written the part where they actually leave.  They've been planning for weeks, but they still haven't left yet.  I need to write that scene.

RANDOM QUESTION OF THE DAY!!!!

(also, I still need fairytale ideas to write about from you guys!)

My (actual) new project.

So I figured out what I'm going to write next.  I've always loved fractured fairy tales, so I think I'm going to write fractured fairy tales.  Or wait.  An idea is coming to me as I write this post.  I could tell the stories in first person!  That would be awesome.  Like, as Sleeping Beauty pricks her finger, she's just like, oh no oh no oh no.  i'm going to die.  But in the traditional fairy tales, we don't see that.  We have to assume that she's feeling scared or whatever, but maybe she isn't.  Maybe she's excited, because she knows she'll be woken up by her true love, and she really needs a guy in her life. (Typical princess.  Always waiting for the knight in shining armor to show up.  Jeez.)  We don't know.
So yeah, that's my plan, I think.  I'll keep you posted on how it goes!!  Let me know what your favorite fairy tale is in the comments, and how you feel about this whole plan!

RANDOM QUESTION OF THE DAY!!!

I honestly have no idea where this came from.

This is my new idea!

Hello, my peoples!  I don't have much to say today, other than the fact that I'm sick of my NaNoWriMo novel, so I'm starting a new one.  I don't really know what it's gonna be about, but I do know that I'm going to have a lot of different characters, and the POV is going to change every chapter.  These characters are mostly going to be 15 and 16 years old.  Leave me a comment with what you think it should be about!

Also, random question of the day:

My NaNoWriMo Story

This year I participated in my first NaNoWriMo.  I ended up with around 15,000 words, which put me 35,000 words below the 50,000 word goal.  I'm not going to say it was easy, because it wasn't.  I'm not going to say it was fun, but I'm not going to say it wasn't fun, either.  I will say that it was really hard.  I will say that I'm proud of myself for even trying, because I thought it would be easy, and then it really wasn't.  At all.  At the beginning, I thought, "It's like 1600 words a day, that's easy. I can do that."  Here at the end, I'm thinking, "Well, that was really hard, and I'm sad that I  didn't finish.  Boo."
Overall, I'm really glad I did do it, because, even though I didn't finish, I now have 15,000 more words to this story than I did on November first, and I'm proud of myself for getting that far.  I'm going to keep writing this story, because I haven't even gotten to the exciting part yet, and I'm going to do NaNo again next year, and I WILL finish next year, if it is the last thing I do.

Thanks for reading!  Don't forget to leave a comment down below!  What's your NaNoWriMo story?
