Congratulations on making progress on your screenplay @magemadi! I am indeed chugging along with NaNo. Hitting 50K seems doable. I don't know if I will have a finished draft of libera, but I should be pretty close. I only drafted maybe 1/3 of my OF short story this month, but my plan is to have it ready to submit in Spring of 2021. I haven't heard back yet about the other short story I submitted. Next year I may try to be a little more serious about the process (e.g. researching more places to submit and tracking my submissions more closely). 

here is my entry!! Rich Girl$ (M)

Hi Jade! I absolutely love how you make things so sharp and colorful! I was hoping I could maybe snag your open spot?  Let me know if the below request is doable...I'm sorry if my explanation is terrible. But I'm happy to answer any questions or just give you free creative reign on this. 💖 Courtney Story and Author Name, including link: hardened hearts say unimaginable things by prideofprewett Graphic type/dimensions: I would love a story banner for this. Maybe 700 x 110 dimensions, but if you feel the larger dimensions will make the end product look better, I can be flexible  Sites you intend to use the graphic on: Just on the FFT archives What you'd like on the graphic: If you can manage the full title, but with an emphasis on the words "Hardened Hearts" that would be great. But I also know it is insanely long, so I would also just settle for "Hardened Hearts" if you feel the full title is too many letters. I have a collection of boards for the overall piece here. I would like you to use Lily James from Downton Abbey for one of my mains, Cedrella Black. I have a board dedicated to her character here with a strong preference for these two images: [1] [2]. If you could also include my face claim for Septimus Weasley that would be cool too. Here is also a board with some aesthetic things for him with my preferred images of him: [1] [2] [3]. If none of my preferred images are usable then let me know and I can find others. The overall mood of this story is very glamorous, elitist, but also with a hint of soft, forbidden romance. This story it largely focuses on Cedrella’s branch of The Black Family. I’ll give you creative license to include whatever other images you want to from the boards. One thing that plays an important part in this story is chess, so if you’re able to include an image of a chess board or some pieces in the background that would be cool. Flowers are also another image that pops up regularly. I’m fine with whatever colors and font you decide upon. Again, not requirements, but just some ideas to help guide you (I hope hah!).

Happy Monday, folks! I'm going steady (if a bit slow the last few days) with NaNo, and have finally entered what I think is Act III of the screenplay, which has me very excited!! @victoria_anne, how goes your novel writing/revising? @starlitcastles, I hope your month hasn't been too busy and that you've been able to find some time for creative writing 💛 @teh tarik how goes your rebelling NaNo time? Have you finished any of your planned pieces yet? @la_topolina I see you're chugging along with NaNo -- how's it been going for you? @shadowycorner we're almost done with NaNo, just push through for one more week! ❤️

good luck!
