Sparrow - Update

Thanks to NaNoWriMo, I've got 60,000 words of Sparrow complete! Exciting, I know!

Around 7,000 of those words, however, are apart of the sequel. The chapters just came to me in that moment and I had to write them down... So, yes, Sparrow is looking significantly brighter now:) I have a direction, a good idea of what's left (mainly fillers in the middle) and then I'll have my first completed original novel!

It's been a rocky and long journey, but I'm glad NaNoWriMo has really motivated me to complete it. I won't finish the novel this month, most likely sometime in December. On that note, I'm really close!

My next project?

Prowl
20%
Perfection
The Angel

They're all sort of going on at the same time as new ideas come to me. Today's been mostly a trial period of getting the plot sorted out for most of them. The real writing begins soon... Muahahahaha

Lots of love to my readers,
Ana xoxo

Also, idk if you've ever tried it, but Yarny is the best website ever! Totally check it out!

Happy NaNoWriMo!

So, it's National Novel Writing Month! (And No-shave November...)

How far are you on your novels?

I'm still in the same place, having a few essays to do for school, but I'm back and rolling now! I have about fifteen different chapter outlines to get started on and I've placed little notes in the rough draft so I know where to add! I'm super excited for it, and that's what I'm doing all Thanksgiving Break! Hopefully I'll get to 60,000 by then, yeah?

So, how's your nanowrimo going?

Happy writing!
Ana xoxo

Astra Ryans

Astra Ryans is probably... a key player in the plot, but perhaps not in the way one would picture.

Astra is a flirtatious, bubbly, and outgoing redhead that seriously demands to be in the center of attention. She is the main character, Lyra's, best friend, and has been such since they were little girls. Astra grew up on her family's farm, always practicing her guardian training as she cleaned the barns.


Astra Ryans is desperate for any male attention, and even though she's young, desperately wants to get married. All of the guys she's interested in never take her seriously, and so she doesn't understand what she's doing wrong. She began training to be a guardian with Lyra, around the age of seven. 


That's the character of the week!

Happy Imaginations,
Ana xoxo
