Beautiful Books {1}

Well, since Jaylee Morgan tagged me, I must do! Be sure to check out the link at the end to submit your own stories!

The book I'm doing is Operation; Sweets, since I need to get around to writing it.

1. What inspired the idea for your novel, and how long have you had the idea?

The thing that inspired Operation; Sweets was actually the cover of a random book on wattpad. It was of a girl who loved candy, so I thought 'what if [all good things start with 'what if'] there was a clean romance book about a super hyper girl who loved sweets, who tried to be best friends with a guy who's the opposite of her except for the fact that he also loves sweets'. The story's bred from there. I have had the idea for... around 2 or 3 years (SHEESH, DAWN!).

2. Describe what your novel is about!

Jess is a sweet, fun loving girl who only wants to make friends with everyone (and eat candy). When a new kid comes to her tiny high school in the tiny town of Boresville (Boar-ES-ville) she wants to instantly be friends with him. He's quiet, scary smart, and likes candy. That's all she knows about him. He won't let her know anything else. But when she becomes his friend and begins to discover who he really is and what he's been through, she finds the hard choices between friendship, help, pity, love, and all those other darn emotions no one wants to deal with.

3. What is your book’s aesthetic? Use words or photos or whatever you like!

[*looks up word*] Ehh...

Uh...

4. Introduce us to each of your characters!

Alrighty! We've got; Seth- the second main character, the one who needs help. Jess- the main character, always there for everyone. Tiaz- Jess's annoying jerkweasel as a younger brother. Brooks, Chloe, Zachary- the friends always helping her out of and into trouble. And Eureka!- Jess's pet gecko. 

How do you prepare to write? (Outline, research, stocking up on chocolate, howling, etc.?)

I get a cup of coffee and my pair of earbuds, and I just sit down and write. Either on paper or on the computer. I just pour out my heart and soul while I pour in coffee. I HATE outlining, and I only research when I must.

What are you most looking forward to about this novel?

The fact that I get to play with so many emotions and characters I don't often get to. And I actually get to write it. And Eureka!.

List 3 things about your novel’s setting.

It's in a small town in Ohio. It varies between, like, her high school and her home. She knows everyone in her setting.

What’s your character’s goal and who (or what) stands in the way?

Jess's goal is to make Seth's life better, and to make him happy. His coldness, her awkwardness, and all of his problems- ones she can't solve- are all things that stand in her way.

How does your protagonist change by the end of the novel?

She understands that people are more than what they appear, and she learns how to deal with unexpected feelings.

What are your book’s themes? How do you want readers to feel when the story is over?

Bahumbug on themes. It'll come out when I'm done.

I want readers to have cried, to have laughed, and at the end, I want them to just be washed over with happiness and relief.

Why The Constant Design Changes?

So, if you guys are questioning why I keep constantly changing the design of my blog, it's because I'm trying to figure out what's easiest to read and nicest on the eyes. You like this current design?

Character Studies- #1 Trisha of Gisborne

Hey guys! Today I'm doing a character study based off of Jaylee Morgan's Character Study of her own characters. This character study is of one of my characters, Trisha of Gisborne. 


Her story is Bravery and Bow, which is sort of a Robin Hood fanfiction, but I can pass it off as a regular, publishable novel because of things like Rowan Hood and Hawksmaid. 

Trisha is the daughter of Sir Guy of Gisborne, sister of Raven of Gisborne, and a motherless girl. Trisha loves her father and her brother (though he can be annoying) and only wants what's best for everyone around her. 

What are Your Favorite Activities?
Despite Raven's best efforts, my favorite actives are horseback riding, archery, fencing, hands on crafts making (woodworking), and walking through the woods outside of Nottingham Castle and Locksley. 

What Was The Greatest Shock of Your Life?
The greatest shock of my life was when I found out that I was not only a daughter of Lady Miriam, but my real father was Robin Hood, and that Raven was not my brother at all. 

What Are Your Greatest Fears?
Getting married, being put in prison, being locked in a small area without sunlight; pretty much having my freedoms taken away from me. I'm not too scared of spiders or snakes, but I cannot stand bats. Don't ask me why, I just can't.

What Are Some Things You Can't Stand?
Dresses. I can't stand dresses. Balls. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love food and dancing, but dancing around others and with someone I don't like just takes away all the fun. I can't stand some nobles. I can't stand the thought of hating my brother or my father, or having to fight against them in any situation. 



Well, there we have it! There's my quick character study of Trisha! Wanna see more of these? Comment below! Do you wanna read her story? Mention that!

I'll see ya all later!
