R o b i n H o o d O C b y M . C . F r a n kThis isn’t the official commissioned portrait of him, but as a sketch, it’s pretty close (I made it myself, like it?). Can’t wait to start writing part 2 of the Robin Hood series for Nanowrimo! I’m not sharing the title yet, but I’m almost done with the first book, so I’m ready to start the second one on November 1st.
What are your projects for November? Are you doing Nano? Want to be buddies? Let me know and I’ll send you my info, I need friends. If you need one too, let’s support each other.
Are you ready for Nanowrimo? I’m overworked, stressed, and fighting a bout of depression. So, you know…?
Bring it, Nano!Read all about my upcoming Robin Hood book
Just uploaded my synopsis:
There were six men in the dungeon that night, slowly dying of hunger and their bleeding wounds:
A thief. A traitor. A prince. A giant. A cripple. A boy who wanted to die.
Three of them got out, three were left behind to die. Now one of the survivors, Robin Hood, is the deadliest outlaw in the land, trying to save lives, feed the poor and stand up to the impostor Prince, the evil Sheriff and his mercenary deputy.
Robin Hood is just surviving, he isn’t exactly winning.He is tortured by past guilt, and they’re more ruthless than ever. They’ve even hired an assassin to kill him, but that’s not news. It happens at least once every month.
What’s different about this man is… that he isn’t a man.
It’s a girl.
And she’s deadly.What do you think? I’ll be sharing my username soon, so that you can add me if you need a writing buddy.
I’m M. C. Frank on nanowrimo, add me if you want to be writing buddies :)
just a quick reminder
selfishness is putting the wants of yourself over the needs of others.
self respect is putting the needs of yourself over the wants of others.
one is disregarding others, one is taking care of yourself.
the difference between the two is the difference between being a friend and a doormat.
taking care of yourself does not make you a bad person
i repeat:
taking care of yourself does NOT make you a bad person
And you need to take care of yourself in order to take care of others!

20, 21, either series
20. which character is the best writer? worst?
21. which character is the best liar? worst?
20. Astra would be a great writer, she’s a born storyteller. Although the real storyteller of the stories is the Clockmaster, Ulysses. Felix would be like, there was snow, it was cold. Or at least that’s what they said. End of story.
21. That would be a huge spoiler to explain, but Felix, hands down.
Robin Hoood WIP
Ahhhh now we’re talkin! (Not that I don’t enjoy answering these for No Ordinary Star, because I do so much, but Robin Hood is le bae. What can you do?)
20. There is a character in this series who is a mistrel. His name is Alan a Dale, faceclaim:
and he is a natural storyteller. A storymaker really. BUT there’s also another character, the one who is described as a “cripple” in the synopsis (scroll down) who actually writes. In the medieval times, few people wrote, and those who did were extremely well educated. So, these are my answers for the ‘best writer’ thing. Worst…. I don’t know. Everyone? John, probably.
21. Best liar: the assassin (she has to be.)
Worst liar: the assassin (spoiler alert: things don’t go according to plan *wink)
25, 15, 13, 12, please! For the No Ordinary Star series!
12. who are your character faceclaims?
Felix
Astra
13. sort your characters into harry potter houses!
Felix: Slytherin/Gryffindor (qualities from both houes, the Sorting Hat would have a real hard time)
Astra: Ravenclaw
15.
describe each character’s daily outfit.
Felix wears the Hydro suit which controls a body’s temperature and keeps him safe from most natural threats.
Astra wears rags, which she considers herself lucky to have.
25. which character would you most like to be?
Felix is the most intelligent person on the planet, he’s never once been defeated (at least until No Ordinary Star starts), he can kill you as soon as look at you, and he has no feelings. Yes, please! (I kid, of course. Or do I?)
