Oh Nuts

A while back I discovered the editing site Canva and I have been dabbling in it on and off since then. Since I don't have a Pro account and just use the free version, I am a little limited in what I can do with it. But I still enjoy using it and I have been able to create quite a few things for Instagram as well as covers for the novels that I write during NaNo. And since I really haven't given you much of an update on how I am doing with NaNo I decided to share a few covers that I made with Canva. The cover with the mountains on it includes the original title for my novel and the other two covers include the current title which fits better.

I don't know if I ever shared the first cover I had made for the novel I will be attempting to write next month, but in the even that I did I have since changed the name of my work in progress. The name I had originally picked was Shadows of the Night, but as my plot has continued to change the name didn't really seem to fit anymore. Then the other day I was driving home from somewhere and I was listening to music and the song Roundtable Rival by Lindsey Stirling started playing. As the song was playing I felt like it fit more with the idea that I have for my novel. I have probably shared this already but in case you haven't heard it yet, my novel idea is a loose retelling of the story/legend of King Arthur and the knights of the roundtable. So that is how the name for my novel changed from being named after one song to being named after a different one.

--1-- I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! I did :) For as long as I can remember my family and I have tried to visit both sides of the family on Easter Sunday, but sometimes that doesn't end up happening. This year we went and visited my grandma in the evening on Holy Saturday. We had pizza dinner and watched the movie "Groundhog Day" on the tv since it was on. It was a funny movie. On Sunday we went to mass at our church and then came home and had my other grandparents over for dinner. After dinner and the dishes were done most of us went on the traditional walk that we take. And if you haven't read it yet here is a more accurate description of what my life has been like this week since Sunday. --2-- This is what the sanctuary of our church looked like on Easter! This is from our after dinner walk :) --3-- Well I decided to do Camp NaNoWriMo this month and I am doing ok in my writing. While it still needs some work before it...

Before my NaNo story decided that it didn't want to really follow the plot idea that I had in my head, I made a couple covers using the plot ideas that I had. I also have a cool cover idea that I want to try, but I don't know when it's going to happen.
