prepping a novel....

The downside of working on multiple projects is that progress across the board is insanely slow. As such, I figured I should have 'fun' for campnanowrimo and at least do the June entry with a completely different project. It drags a few threads together from uncompleted stuff or ideas without homes for them. The title is, at present, Bird & Jester and it is very much a YA fantasy.

It's about twins born to different parents and the high cost of expectations. The actual backstory was written out as a fake report to class by the MC, but my computer ate it twice. Boiled down to basics it's about what happens when you and your best friend fall in love with the same guy and then he goes and tries to do something Really Bad and you feel you have to stop him.

Spoiler: the MCs name is Jess, and she does die in it. (This is a joke very few people will get.)

  2. Yeah. I named her Jess in the sure and certain knowledge she is going to die during the story. I doubt that is the best way to go about naming a character, but what the hell :)
