July Novel

    July NaNoWriMo Camp begins tomorrow. I have an idea for a new fairy-tale fantasy novel (inspired by the Amazing Spiderman 2 trailer). I am super excited about it, and will share sketches, etc. However, I do not want to get ahead of myself and talk about it before I have a good grasp on the story.
    Having been busy for the past month moving, looking at colleges, and attending a church conference, I have not written much. This trend will likely continue for the next month, as it will be a heavy writing month for me, and all of you who decide to participate in this camp.
