About Me

"You'll feel so homesick that you'll want to die, and there's nothing you can do about it apart from endure it. But you will, and it won't kill you. And one day, the sun will come out you might not even notice straight away - it'll be that faint. And then you'll catch yourself thinking about something or someone who has no connection with the past. Someone who's only yours. And you'll realize that this is where your life is."

Happy Halloween and NaNoWriMo Eve!

Hello, everyone!

Happy Halloween and NaNoWriMo Eve!

I know what you're thinking: Amy, you're gonna try NaNo again?

Uh, yeah - try is a good word! I have a lot going on this month - college, events, work - probably more than I've ever had going on in November, but I'm still going to try. Mostly because I have a really great idea for a novel. What is it, you ask? Well I'll tell you!

A quick summary:

In the 17th century in England, witch trials terrified the countryside. Thomas Stockley, country squire, and his family believe they are safe from the accusations flying through the lower class; but when a girl from their own social circle is accused, fear enters their household. Rebecca, the second of his four daughters, wishing to save her family from any sort of scrutiny, agrees to marrying the local justice of the peace, earning her family safety.

Anne Pickard, a maid in the local justice of the peace's house, keeps her head low when walking through the streets, knowing that it's girls like her who fingers are pointed at. When unwelcome advances come from a man in the village so do the accusations.

How did I come up with this idea? I watched a show about the witch trials on Netflix. That's it.

I'm going to be posting everyday throughout November to try to keep myself motivated (as we all know I lose interest easily).

Stay tuned!
