Today we share our insecurities and etc. etc. on the monthly Insecure Writer's Support Group. Well I say screw insecurities! All that matters to me right now are two things Nanowrimo and my birthday on Nov. 29. Now I will roar and share my projects and tell insecurity to go sit in the corner. I AM BUSY.
Project One: It's Complicated
Nano name: queendsheena
Genre: YA Fantasy
Quick Summary: Princess Aura goes from spoilt princess with a kingdom in peril and reeling from her father's death to being transported to our world. A book also goes with her and the longer she stays the more her happy ending and kingdom changes, for the worse.
Project Two: Huntress: The Flesh Business Book One
Nano name: Roe 2
Note: Written under a pseudonym
Genre: NA Horror
Quick Summary: Humans are the toughest prey and predators got to eat. Huntress is from the city of Shiiv, a secret city of flesh eaters who see outsiders (humans not from their city) as meat. Nothing is wasted. Huntress is a hunter and very good at her job. But when the status of hunters gets threatened she is ready to bend the rule book to protect her role and Shiiv from a shift that might be to their detriment.

Status: I am happy to say that I am working on finishing on time with Nano for the first time ever. Pretty on point with Roe 2 except for yesterday when I had to focus on freelance work. Today I plan to catch up. By Friday I will focus on queendsheena and get my word count up on It's Complicated. It's so exciting writing on a schedule with a community to chat with both here and on nanowrimo.
So here it is everyone, Nano to Nano and I'm confident it is frigging amazing. Yeah, I said it. So how are you guys this IWSG? And a special shout out to Alex C. and his helpful co-hosts.
P.S.: I got my prize from David Powers this morning. Stray by Elissa Sussman. I love hardcover books, they hold a special place is my bookish heart. Thank you David and so awesome of you send it first class.
Special shout-out to you! That's awesome you are doing two projects under two names for NaNo. That will be a double-win.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex and you deserve a million shout outs. Plus, who doesn't want a double win?
DeleteTwo NaNo projects? That's incredible! And I'm glad the book got to you in one piece. I didn't want to take any chances. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I am incredible. :)
DeleteAnyway I really appreciate the effort you made to send the book in the best condition.
I have to second what David said... TWO NaNo projects? That is ambitious! I am bowing down to Queen Sheena. ;) All the best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteOh Chrys! Thanks for the bowing but I rather we bask in each others achievement.
DeleteHey, Sheena
ReplyDeleteBehind on my word count today as I haven't put in the time yet. Later though ... Glad you're on top of things.
Thank you Joy.
DeleteBoth of your NaNo projects sound awesome! Have a blast and write fast :)
ReplyDeleteYou are tearing it up!! Way to go :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with NaNo, Sheena-kay!!!! Sounds like you're on track!!
ReplyDeleteThe Flesh Business? That is an awesome title! And the book sounds so cool and creepy. Major props on having two NaNo projects- way to rock it, girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you Leandra. I wanted to write a novel where people others who might see as villains get written as regular people. Though you and I know there is nothing normal about eating humans.
DeleteIt's so awesome to hear your confidence...and I love: " tell insecurity to go sit in the corner" Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOkay, yah, so ummm..Totally LOVED this post. :) Keep on telling insecurity to shove off. I'm going to follow your lead and do the same! Rock on, girl.
ReplyDeleteYou too Anna. Just put doubt in it's place and move forward. Glad you enjoyed my post.
Deleteoooh, congrats on getting all those prizes!
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects, yes, it is important to prepare well your birthday!
ReplyDelete"Humans are the toughest prey and predators got to eat." I love that! It made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteI love people who can laugh at the scary stuff,
DeleteI hope you get a birthday wish of finishing both projects.
