So I couldn't hold myself back, and had to join in on the crazy nano cover making-ness. Here is mine:

I like the font!
For some reason, it looks like it's going to be a horror. Don't know why.

[tinyklutzygirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And it actually isn't.

Although it has that kind of look about it... it's supposed to be kind of a nostalgic story, with this woman going back to a playground she used to play at as a kid and remembering her close neighborhood friends and sort of comparing them to what they are like now.

Just the way my mind thinks. :)
But yeah, the empty swing feeling works well.

I can see where you would get "horror." I think it's the angle of the shot, and maybe the title. One of those The ______ fill in the blanks. Like, The Shinning.

But,
I can also see it as a nostalgic story about growing up and childhood friends and just being young. It is after all very sunny and bright, and horror stories usually have darker covers.

[tinyklutzygirl.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah.

And yay that you can see it the other way too. Rock on.

[raven-744.livejournal.com]

Good point.

But I immediately jumped, of course, to
"Where are all the children? They're not playing, so they must have been chopped into little bits and buried in the sand."

And the title. That too.

[tinyklutzygirl.livejournal.com]

Haha.

Those poor diced children.

...Now you have me mocking my own story. Meep.

[blythe025.livejournal.com]

That's good. Never take yourself too seriously.

[tinyklutzygirl.livejournal.com]

True. It is, after all, just nano.

What's your story about?

I wish I had even a vague vague idea of what my own novel will be about. But I probably won't think of anything until November hits.

My story is in five sections, kind of. It's this woman who is going back to a playground she used to play at when she was little, and reminiscing about the four other children she used to play with. Each section is devoted to one of the children, and what they have grown up into in comparison to what they were like when they were little. And the last section is her own story. It's based on a really super short thing I wrote once.

It does sort of look Horror -ish, as someone said. :)
