Convention is over, and so basically is NaNoWriMo.
I am pleased to announce that I am a NaNoWriMo winner! I reached my goal of 50k and will probably end up at about 55k. Not bad for starting late, eh? So now brings my challenge to you, my artist friends. I would love to have a cover! If you are up for making one, here's the info.

Title: In a Heartbeat
Author: Ace Zaffirisi
Story: It's the story of a girl who we met on the day her future husband is killed in a car crash. It is also the day she meets Brady, a mysterious student who begins to turn her world on it's head. Zana, the girl in question, faces problems with a closing friend and also a changing one. At work, she paints with two other women, both of whom havr something to do with a young worker. Through all of this, Zana has to deal with the unimaginable grief that comes with losing someone she loved. If she ever wants to truely continue her life as Ryan, her boyfriend, would have wanted her to, she must accept his death. She must also learn to love and trust again. How can she with not one, but two unstable friends around? Not only that, but as she becomes closer with the unknown Brady she realises that things can get complicated, fast. As the tention mounts in her work place, there is no escape for her. In a novel of healing, self discovery, fate and love one girl must learn to open herself when all she wants to do is remain closed.

If anyone feels the call to make a cover for that, then I would love you forever. Please and thank you!

On a completely different note, I have found my missing piece, my other half if you prefer. I have mentioned him before, but this time I think there's something there that wasn't there before (to quote Beauty and the Beast). Who knows if anything will come of it, or if I'm totally wrong. But it's awesome to know that so many people are rooting for me, for us, and that makes it seem as if this is better. He's everything I am and nothing I'm not, and he seems to love everything I tell him. He wants to make me smile and cares about me and what I do. He can take a little football trash talk and knows the high school football scene. He's tall and cute and I sound like a total sap. At any rate, he's great and I don't know what I would do without him around sometimes. This one's for you, buddy.
