Thieves!
9:00 AM
I stumbled upon something today that made my mouth drop open in shock.
Does anything look familiar? No? Let me help you.
It's the same girl!
Thief! Thief!
Thief! Thief!
(Let's not mention that I have no idea who this girl is, and 'borrowed' the image from Google for my own purposes.)
But still! Jorra doesn't have flaming hair! Jorra lives under the water! Flames and water DON'T mix!
Sad.
I know that this was just the cover I created two years ago. And I know that if I ever get published, this won't be the cover they use.
But I feel so violated.
I like my cover better anyway.
Jorra could totally kick this 'fury' girl's butt! Fury is too feminine and soft. My Jorra would totally win in a fight.
I kinda want to read it though... You know... Just to be sure...

Disney Princesses
9:00 AM
The other day, while stalking people on Twitter, I came across a link that @lissawrites posted.
I'm a big ol' Disney fan. And when I saw that there was a site where I could create my own Disney Princesses, I jumped on the band wagon!
Check out the site here! It's so much fun!
Because I've always wanted to be a Disney Princess, I started by making one of myself!
Looks just like me, huh?
And once I realized how addicting this program is, I knew I needed to create Jorra, my novel's main character! I love that I'm now able to better visualize certain scenes!
There's a fun feature where you can put your princess creations in book form like an illustration.
So I did this with Emma. A character from another story I'm working on.
It's even fun to try and recreate some of the iconic Disney girls!
Go check out Doll Divine and try it out yourself! It's totally addicting!

One Month Left
6:38 PM
Last year, I wrote a novel. In one month. But I had a lot of help. I wouldn't have been able to do it without National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo.)
Well, it's coming up on NaNoWriMo again! In one month! I'm excited!
October is just as important for NaNoWriMo as November, when you actually do the writing. This is the 'prep month.' You work on plot outlines, character names, and for me, covers and maps.
Being the Photoshop obsessed girl I am, this is always my second priority in October. Seeing the images helps me visualize the adventure that will unfold in my novel.
I finished my images to the best of my abilities at this early stage.
Here is the current cover! I am very excited about how it turned out!
It will be a companion novel to the novel I wrote last year, Sacrifice.
So I expanded the area of map that wasn't explored in Sacrifice and will be using it as the map in my 2010 project.
(Sacrifice Map)
(2010 Project Map)
The ideas are turning in my head and I'm so excited to explore this story and see where it takes me.
I also made a cover for my friend Alex (a fellow NaNo-er).
If you are interested in NaNoWriMo, join HERE! It's free, and a lot of fun (and hard work).
My username is Kate Weber! Add me as a writing buddy!
