Counting......Counting......
It's like being a kid the day before Christmas again when my sisters and I would wake up while it was still dark and sit at the bottom of the stairs, watching the seconds tick by on my older sister's watch until it was the ok time to open the door and wake our parents.
Ah!
When I was told that I had made it into the anthology, it was followed by a quick- but don't tell anyone yet.
Ah!
Lots of Hurry up, and wait.
Wait till we show you the cover.
Ah!
Wait until we publish.
Ah! Five more months!
We collaborators were introduced by email and told, ok, collaborate! I like organizing through chaos, but am use to doing this writing/publishing thing all on my own. It's been refreshing to do this within a group, though. It's come at a really needed time. We came together fairly smoothly, and it's inspriring to hear everyone's ideas and see the different ways they have of marketing and structuring, to hear them brainstorm and see different strengths take shape. We're all from different regions- one's from Canada, another is living in Cairo, and another isn't even living on land. The rest of us are splattered throughout the US.
Our second biggest collaboration is the official Hero Lost website, which will go live around February 2nd.
Ah!
It's like Christmas again every time I check our website to see how it's going, to read more into everyone, or to make my own additions, and find all sorts of new stuff! The publisher suggested we make small pictures relevant to our stories. Creating images is something I began with Red, and I love it. It can become a whirlpool that just sucks you in.
There's some restrictions in Breath regarding setting and her perception, but the running theme is time, and her counting. I have this clock I bought at Target a couple years ago that cracks me up, but it did not survive the last stint in storage. Even though it's broken, I can't throw it away. Give me time, I'll fix it. Anyway, it worked out rather nicely for Breath.
My funky clock. 
Placed on a black background. 
Add some photo filters.
Upload to a vector program and voila!
Soon I'll be able to share the website and you'll be able to see everyone else's image representation. And, hopefully not too much later, I'll get my proof copy and can read all the other stories.
You'll have to wait until May 2nd though.
