WHOO!!!
:3
Last night I wrote a summary for my novel, and managed to come up with a new title with the help of somebody on the NaNoWriMo boards. Instead of being called Roxanne, it is now something entirely different. I made a new, simpler banner too :D
The new title is Balancing Act, and the summary goes something like this:
In Roxanne's family, people don't ask questions. Life is lived, money is made, and they eat food every night- what more could a growing girl want? In one word: Everything. Growing up in a whore-house in the city centre of Heylyn Falls, Roxanne's upbringing leaves much to be desired. Her adoptive mother, Rebeka, seems to think that Roxanne should be the next Queen of the Harlotry. Roxanne has other ideas.
After an argument that leaves her head reeling, Roxanne decides to run away, once and for all, but little does she know that her life, in all it's unstable glory, is about to get a hell of a lot worse. On her quest to find her birth mother whom she knows next to nothing of, Roxanne will find herself walking the tightrope, swinging with the trapeze artists of the era, and confined to a tiny prison cell all within just a few short years. And this will leave her wondering: is it really worth it?
That is, until she meets her mother's old employer.
Madam Whittle; dancer, lover, fighter, and owner of Madam Whittle's Famous Portellan Burlesque House. Now what?
Don't ask me why it's in the third person, I don't know why... Especially because the story is in first person. Oh well... and I think I sorted out my dedications too.
NaNoWriMo countdown: 3 days to go!!! :D
