Taking Neil Gaiman's masterclass as Preptober draws near. Will you do Nanowrimo this year?

Please reblog this if you plan to do nano this year, so I can Follow you!

I turned all my characters into keywords and tagged appropriate chapters with them. I discovered a few very minor characters and a few locations that I missed. this will help me set each scene in the chapter. If I know WHERE it is happening and WHO is there, I know what descriptions I need, how the characters feel about one another and how the tension will build/be resolved. 

This also helped me identify a few chapters where there may be more than one location and where I will need a solid transition between one and the other. 

Seriously, my current WIP is a duology, my last project was a trilogy, and I‘m currently tossing around ideas for both a 4-5 book series and another duology.

It’s been literal ages since I’ve done lineless artwork - but the painting bug seems to have bit me. So, ya know... I decided to sketch Juvia at 4am like one does. Which also explains why I painted her with brown eyes, lol! Went back and forth on whether to even post this since I’m extremely out of practice with painting and it’s technically unfinished, but I figured I need to get better at showing my WIPs and sketches, too. I’ll most likely be attempting more this month since next month is Inktober and there will probably be NO time for color work whatsoever! Also, how has 2019 gone by so quickly?!
