Tomorrow is Halloween. Also known as Nanowrimo Eve. Is it not also known as that in your house? Hm. Well, in my house, it means I'm gearing up to finally write a new story. With four books releasing this year (a blessing, yes, but a lot too), I haven't had time to finish writing anything. Not even a novella. So, I'm claiming November for myself. I will participate in Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) for the first time in several years, and I will write a new book. At least, that's the plan. My story idea this year is a Cinderella retelling, set in modern-day West Virginia. Here's the working blurb I've come up with for now:
Ella's dream is to have her artwork displayed in the famous Prince Gallery, but she has to eke out a minute here and there to work on it between working for her stepmother. When her stepsister steals her drawing and claims it as her own, she fears her last chance is gone. Chaz Prince wants to prove to his dad that he's ready to take more responsibility at the family gallery, but his dad doesn't love Chaz's preference for more modern pieces. Chaz talks him into a contest to bring in some new artists and see how they do, hoping this will prove his point. When he stumbles across Ella's piece, he not only wants the artwork, but wants to get to know the artist too. At the masquerade to celebrate the contest winners, Ella is determined to let them know the artwork is hers, but time is against her. And where did her shoe end up? What do you think? Can I pull off a full-length novel in 30 days once more? It's been a while since I aimed to do this. But I'm determined. And my characters have already shown me several scenes. In two days, I start to write them down!!! What are you doing in November?

This is a place for me to tell you about what I'm writing, talk about the process or where some of my ideas came from, or even have other authors come in and talk about their books.
