Beautiful People

Hey everyone!
So, I love this time of year. Like seriously, the last month of October, hands down, is the best ever!
The weather finally calms down and cools off, we get a little rain, cold night, fuzzy blankets and lots of coffee. Everyone is getting ready for Halloween, and the more creative of us are getting ready for Nanowrimo. School starts to relax a little too, you know right before it freaks out for Finals. And the winter shopping season begins!
The last week of October, I'm telling you, is the bomb.com!
Now, as I was moseying around the blogging world I discovered this thing called Beautiful People. And basically, what it is, is a questionnaire that you get to answer as a blog post about your book, your characters, your writing life in general! I was informed of this by my lovely Nanowrimo buddy, Lauriloth. You can check out her amazing blog by clicking the link.
Anyway, not wanting to be left out, I have decided to do the Nanowrimo edition of Beautiful People!
So, here it is:
1. Sum up your novel in five words or less.Garden Gnome saving fairy princess
2. Novel title?
Gnome Gnovel Part 2

3. Sum up your main character(s) in one word each.
Iz: Brave, Lorilli:Crazy, Luthin:Noble, Lythar: Tainted

4. Advice for newbies in three words?
Dont Edit, WRITE!

5. Tell us about your secondary characters, how do they affect the story?
My secondary characters are my most favorite! They add all the seasonings to my book, they are the obnoxious colored markers to my drawling and the light of my story. They are my tools, my friends and the people that I wish I could be. They are funny, sad, crazy, silly and down right evil.

6. Do you plan to stay up till midnight on the 31st?
Well, I will probably work that night till 11...then I'll get home, shower, and the countdown will begin!

7. How many years have you done NaNo?
This is my second year doing Nano. Last year I won with Gnome Gnovel Part 1. I had a blast, and am super excited to be doing it again!

8. What came first, characters, or plot idea?
Characters, most definitely. I create plots around my characters.

9. How much prep do you do before November?
Prep...hmmmm. Well I try to get a general idea as to where I want the story to go, write out my map and make sure my characters are all lined up. But other than that, I am more creative and I have a better time writing if its all a surprise to me how things turn out.

10. Now be honest, how do you really feel about NaNo?
I am scared that I'm not going to win this year. Between school, work and social activities, I'm worried I wont have enough time to put all my effort into it. But, I'm staying positive!!!

Have a great weekend guys!
