Nano Spotlight: S.G.S.

Good morning. I’m pleased to welcome S.G.S. back to the spotlight – she participated in my Camp Nano A-Z spotlight series earlier this year!

S.G.S’ history with Nano:
This is my second year participating in NaNoWriMo. Although I did not win last year, I managed to get farther in my novel than I thought I would. I participated in the 2013 camps. I only won the April session. I really enjoy the NaNaWriMo experience, it pushes me to try my hardest and to have fun.

What are you writing about this year?
I’m writing about a girl who doesn’t believe in fairy tales and ends up in a fairy tale world of sorts. She is mistaken for a princess and is entered in a competition for the Prince’s hand. As a result she encounters a bizarre cast of characters including the prince’s younger brother, a clever and dashing thief, a fellow competitor and a priest who seems to think that this girl is the savior not to the mention the Prince in question himself who is very odd. And of course there is something more sinister going on which threatens everyone in this land and our own.

Who’s the best character in your Nano novel?
Gareth, my thief should be the most interesting considering his personality and the role he will have in the story.

What advice would you give to all your fellow Wrimos?

Camp Nano Spotlight: S. G. S

Good morning everybody, and one note as we head into the last full week of the A to Z blogging challenge. It looks as if my interviewee for Y has flaked out, so if you’re doing Camp Nanowrimo this month and have a name, novel, blog, theme, or anything else that starts with Y, I’d love to hear from you.

Moving on, today my victim interviewee is S. G. S, also known as She That Walks Among Stars. Let’s get right to the Q and A!

How did you find out about Camp Nanowrimo?
I found out about Camp NaNoWriMo on the NaNoWriMo website.

Have you participated in Camp Nano before?
This is my first time participating in the camp.

Do you know what you’re going to write this year?
Yes. I am doing a twist on the Legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table focusing in on Morgana and Mordred and their relationship to Arthur and Merlin. Guinevere gets to play the villain and I’m working on making Mordred a bit more heroic than he is in the original tale. By the way I’m taking a Merlin approach meaning that most of the characters will be the same age. Merlin is not going to have a beard. Plus there’s a bit of role change up.

What’s your favorite part of your Camp project?
My favorite part of my Camp NaNoWriMo project is coming up with new twists with the characters.

Sneaky Ninja question! What’s your favorite breakfast food?
Toasted plain bagel with melted butter

 

“I’m a leaf in the wind-watch how I soar”- Hoban ‘Wash’ Washburn in Serenity.

I figured I should open with that particular quote because it basically signifies freedom and I think that is a very important element in writing. I am a fan of Joss Whedon, Lord of the Rings, Maximum Ride, Merlin, Once Upon A Time, Lindsey Stirling, Piano Guys, Colton Dixon, Malukah, and Evanescence. I can proudly say that I am a fan-girl of Fang and Kili. I sing, act, and play guitar and cello in addition to writing. Well enough about me. My major writing product is the Broken Roses Trilogy, a fantasy series set in a kingdom known as Angolia. Broken Roses details the battles against the Shadow Demons that a group of teens called Broken Roses take part in. There’s plenty of betrayal, love, heartbreak, secrets and fighting. It’s one of my proudest moments and I hope that you will take the time to read it eventually. Going for publication.
