Character Sketches and Curly Writing ~OR~ A Graphic Novel!

I have just decided to start making one of my previously begun stories into a graphic novel! I'm still not sure of all the story--because I have only actually written a little--and very not sure of all the details (the length of it and all that) but I have started to do a little planning.
      I have made some sketches of the main character, Maeve...















and experimented with titles....










So yes. I don't know yet if I'm going to do a storyboard or just start sketching, but I think this is going to be fun!

Cheers,
Ava

People dressed warmly























It's been very cold out lately.
(But still no snow since October! Fingers  crossed that we'll get some...)

Haiku a day

From now until January 15th, I've decided to write one haiku a day, an idea which comes from my friend Nathan at Amherst New Writers Club (http://amherstawc.blogspot.com--totally check it out, it's a great blog ☺).
At the end of that three-week period I'll pick my favorites and share them.
So, yeah! I thought that writing a short poem every day was a nice idea.
Actually, the original idea was to do a haiku every day for a year, but I am hopeless at that kind of long term thing. It's going to be a real challenge to do it steadily for even just three weeks. (I once decided that I was going to become ambidextrous and made the goal of simply writing the alphabet and the numbers with my non-dominant hand every day for a year. I think I did it once, the day I thought of it. It was then completely forgotten.)
I've been having a nice, relaxing winter break and I hope everyone else is too!
Cheers!

Hi Everyone,
Sorry that I haven't posted in a while...I was planning to but the computer is having some problems so I can't right now. Once it's working again I'll post some pictures.
Happy Holidays!

Flight: A poem


The whispering of wings, waiting to spread
I want to be like the birds and cut a path through the sky and the earth
what has never
Existed
does now.
I want to be the sharp, ringing realization of the trees
when they see me
The scent of pine in a cold breeze.
I want to be the
Circle
Oange mushroom clouds in the sky

I want to be like the birds and
Leap and
slide and
Make my way
up,
all the way up,
to the
Top
