Here were are in November once again and here I am once again writing a new novel in November.
This year will be my 15th year writing a novel during November. Each year I find something new and exciting to write about. For this year, I’m writing a dark fantasy novel with elements of magic, war and a little romance.
It’s an idea I’ve been playing with for a few months now and one I’ve been building over time. The project is based off of one of my favorite books/movies and one that I spent a few months decoding to try and figure out why I enjoy it so much.

Here’s my project for November:
To Have A Heart
Summary
Sa’Leigh, as a middle child, has always hoped to get married and find her true name. After an interaction with the Willow Witch, Sa’Leigh is forced to run away from everything and everyone she loves to prevent her untimely disfigurement and death, either by her affection or someone else’s.
Constantly on the run from the witch himself, Hale, a necromancer during the gruesome war spanning 500 years, has never enjoyed the abilities forced upon him. Despite his forced isolation, and constant work due to the war, he reluctantly opens his home to Sa’Leigh. He can’t break the curse of the Willow Witch, but perhaps together the two outcasts can make something of their tragedies.
Fun fact: This is the first novel in a long time that I have fully outlined before I’ve started.
Wish me luck!
