Doodlebug #3 – Patrick’s Love Letters
It’s a lot harder to write them when you’re a frog, just fyi. This is Patrick from my 2nd novel, Spellbreaker, attempting to continue on his normal life despite having been cursed by a witch. Though, yeah, pretty sure he’s writing another love letter instead of working on that speech he’s supposed to give in a couple of weeks… oops.
then I drew Koby for real, chilling with August.
I mentioned this on twitter, but I ended up finding a backup of my novel on DROPBOX. thank goodness dropbox saved the day again.
The dog’s name was Barty, btw. Whew. Now I don’t have to freak about it anymore.
I’ve somehow lost one of my novel files.
I think I only got like 15k in but… still… where are you story?
But where can I read this novel?
Well, here’s the thing… although the first draft is finished, it’s also a huge mess. I’ve been working on the outline for the next draft over the past couple of years, and although it’s progressing nicely, it’s still no where near readable. 🙂
I mean, if you REALLY REALLY wanted to read the first draft I could send it, but…. I have been told by nearly everyone who’s read it that the ending is terrible. And that’s because I ran out of time. 8)
But, as a consolation, here are the two covers I made for it:
This was the cover of the prints I made for my alpha readers!
And here’s the one I actually had printed, because I always get a vanity press copy made when I finish a first draft as a reward! Plus they’re only like $10 so why the heck not?
I will most likely start writing draft two in January of next year… this year I have to finish my first draft of Fishsticks and Coffee Mafia… yeah. Anyway… there you go. 🙂
I’m not sure who this girl is. The file name is ‘modernrose’ but I don’t recall who Rose is. She reminds me of Abigail from The Tailor… I know I was tossing around the idea of renaming her, but I don’t think Rose was one of my choices. Maybe it was. Either way, I love her eyes.
Who are you?
