Aw thanks 🙂
I use YWW (Young Writer’s Workshop). Are you part of it?
Ooh cool!
Yes, definitely…they did a really good job.
Aw thank you! The genre for my novella is historical-fiction (with a little clean romance in there too 😉 ).
This is the synopsis or premise:
World War II is sweeping across Europe, stealing the lives of hundreds of courageous men and women who are willing to fight and serve to protect their country and save those they love. Edith is a young nurse serving in France, trying to survive in the midst of danger and death that surrounds her. Denni is a young soldier whose bravery soon causes him to suffer greatly. When the two first meet, they soon discover that they share something in common; the same faith. A deep bond grows between the two, but then, Denni is badly wounded and sent home. As the war progresses, and Edith continues to serve, she soon realises that she must trust God more than ever before. Will she ever see Denni again? Will she even survive this war?
Um…I’m not sure…I previously thought I would self-publish it, but now I think I’m going to try and go with a publishing house.
That’s really cool how many words you’ve written for your WIP!
What about you? What first drew you to writing picture books and then turn to novellas?Well, I thought they would be a lot easier to write because they are a lot shorter; but it’s harder cus I’m not an artist so looking for illustrators can be a bit difficult. Also, I’m part of a literacy program for a missionary ministry that gets people to write/illustrate/translate etc… books for the people in PNG; I thought it would be cool to do a series of historical books, alternating with different size stories (short stories, novellas, etc…) but then that changed too. When I started writing my novella, which was originally meant to be a short story, it kinda took control and decided to become longer 😉 All joking aside though, I’ve now decided for the time being, that I would like to do a series of historical-fiction novellas because I like the size of them and they are shorter to write than a proper novel but better than a short story. Sorry, that was probably a bit long-winded.
Ps. Love your quote!Oh thanks…I rather like it too 😉
