So, I finally cast my novel.

Jeremy Higgins is Colin Firth (MMC)
Ruth Kesteris Cate Blachett (FMC)
Malcolm Kester is Peter O'Toole (Ruth's brother)
Catherine Higgins is Maggie Gyllenhaal (Jeremy's sister)

And, because I cannot go a month without making icons...



And yes, I know, Cate Blachett looks older than 24, but the picture was too perfect.

Just so you know, as a knitter, I read your first sentence as "I finally cast on my novel."

...which, for the non-knitters, means "I just began knitting my novel by setting up the first row of stitches on the needle."

I need to stop knitting for a bit.

:X

HAHAHAHAHA! I'm surprised you have time to knit with NaNo Going on.


...then again, I found time to make icons of 4 of my characters.

XD I have to knit; I've got gift commissions to finish. Heck, I knit between nanosprints, too. :)

Maggie Gyllenhaal is MY main character.

I know you from sprints!

It's ok, though, love. She's not my MAIN character. We can share her.

yeah from the sprints on sunday! :D

haven't been back in there since, being on the East coast and busy with work... but I've got 16, 641 as yesterday's count. Lucky if i've written 200 words today.... might get to writing before bed.

And its fine really, it all started kind of because my main character is somewhat of a Mary Sue, but not really, but my boyfriend tells me I look like Maggie Gyllenhaal (check the icon, i dont see it, but he does) so I just thought I would make my main character look like her....

I did one or two sprints on Monday, but I did most of this week's writing on my own. I'm at 14,783 right now -- hoping to get 15,000 by the end of today (even though I have to leave in less than an hour and will be gone until around midnight). Yesterday was crap for me. I only got 307 words in. But no school Friday for Verteran's Day means I'm going to go nuts!

Hmmm...I can see it. In the smile and eyes. Actually, the main reason I went ahead and used Maggie is because I was going through lots of young, dark-haired actresses and the moment I saw the picture I used for the icon, I knew I had to choose her.

[crazylikealice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, lots of people are picking actors to represent the characters in their novels.
