It’s been a great morning!

So far, it’s 9:45, I got up at 7 and worked out and just finished 12 pages of writing.  I want this chapter to be longer, but maybe I can find places to layer on the editing round.  I am just so thrilled with the amount of pages and how fast I got done.  See, self, it is doable.

Giada’s at a sad place right now.  Another contestant has gone home, and it’s down to the final three.  She should be excited, right?  Well, the next chapter (tomorrow) she’s going to still be in a weird sort and then the following chapter has her pretty freaky.  LOL, can’t wait for that one.

Last night, I spent a few hours brainstorming Raven’s Mind (changed the working title from Raven’s Echo).  I’m at a good spot in that too and can’t wait to get back at it.  Of course there are some housely chores I’ve been neglecting that need to get done pronto, but with the kids, cooking and whatnot, I should be back to Raven by this afternoon.

Since NaNo allows space for a mock book cover, I went ahead and created one.  It’s not professional, but I’m soooo pleased with it.  For one, I snapped it together in like 15 minutes.  No sweating and pulling hair like when I created headers.  And, it’s cool.  I used two photo samples that I downloaded for the story–you know, like as a collage to look at while writing.  One is the house and the second is Raven, so it fits real well.  I wanted to include the “boogeyman” but it didn’t look right so I nixed it.

Here it is:

What do you think?  Pretty cool, huh?  :-D  I’m happy.
