Story Delay

After sometime not present on my blog, I have failed to make an effort to "try" and write on Honor. I am settled into my new home and now have a great focus area to hone in on my urge to develop my story. Please have patience -- just think, it was over ten years ago when I started this story idea.

NaNoWriMo is starting up again this November and I plan to use this opportunity to write. Maybe I can double my word count, if not make the goal of 50,000 words! We will see.

Now... where is that bagpipe music, pad of paper, and pen?

Novel Excerpt -- Ingram

"Lowrens’ young and only brother Ingram lives in Kilmarnock, whom is a law enforcer that no longer forcibly upholds the law. He passively watches over the valleys to make sure they stay peaceful with two others that help, but are never around when he needs them.

Once in a while, Ingram visits the Murreff farm and brings news of the events that filter to the city. His nephew, Duncan always is intrigued by the news of what is happening with the war for independence. Their conversations of the events, extend late into the nights, have created a bond between the two as close friends. Lowrens is not too fond of it, yet keeps from the interactions. Lowrens is not as disposed as one might think a brother bond would have to his brother, yet an occasional conversation will pass between them. He is afraid that his convictions of the battles have caused interest in Duncan to fight in the war as well. It was not his intention to drive his nephew into such a thing and feels that Murron is unhappy with him for this action. She has assured him that Duncan is making his own decision for this matter and hopes that her father will provide help and thus Duncan will do the same if his father needs help as well."

Character Update -- Fernand Dumas - Profile picture

For the first time in the history of writing Honor, the characters began having faces. During the 2007 NaNoWriMo event, I chose what my characters would look like if they were to be on screen. My first character, Fernand Dumas, would be played by French actor Jean-Claude Brialy (as if he was still alive in the 1960s):
