I'm going to start a new project on Friday. After much deliberation and a long-time wish to have someone read my stories, I am going to put one of my novels on my blog. The story is called Scribblers. Here how I got the name: I have loved C.S. Lewis for a long time. I read all of the Narnia books and quite a few of Lewis' adult books. So when I saw that a movie was coming out called The Lord of The Rings by one of his best friends, I decided to see it. I saw movie one, read the series, and then saw the other two movies. I got interested in the friendship between Lewis and Tolkien. I read several biographies of each man and was intrigued by their writing group called "Inklings." So when the book I was writing needed a name for the writing group my children were forming, I thought of "Scribblers." It's sort of a childrens' size "Inklings."
The story revolves around four friends, three boys and a girl, who love books. They live in the l950's. I will try to do a portion of a chapter on each Friday until the book is completed. I would love for my blogger friends to see if it is appropriate for their children and let them read it if they wish. Hope you like it. It will be under my pen name of Gracie Prior. See you Friday. Nancy
I loved the Narnia series, too. I like your pen name. I'm trying to come up with one myself. I look forward to Friday.
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds like a great story, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteAre you wanting to have it published one day by a traditional publisher? Some don't like more than 10% of a ms. to be on the web before they publish. Not to rain on your parade, just something to think about...

Sounds like a nice idea. I will let my 9 year old read it and see what she thinks. :O)
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting! What a cute name too. :-)
