INTRODUCTION

I wasn't sure where exactly to put these more serious updates; my livejournal doesn't seem as though it would be the right fit. My deviantart is more or less for art updates rather than reviews and creative updates. So it only felt right that a blogger would be the way to go.

As an introduction for what I am about here: I am Allison Cagle. Drawing and sketching have been lifelong passions, however, these days I find myself more and more working in the world of the literary. I've begun writing a quintet book series with close friend these last couple of months. We both bubble with ideas and how to implement them into our storytelling and enjoy nothing more than bouncing character interactions between each other to get a feel for what tone this story will have. As I continue to delve into writing, I use art more and more to get a visual of the characters and how they hold themselves together (posture, attitude, &ct).

The story itself does not have a title, not even a working title. As we are avoiding having any character know the main character's name, it seems unlikely that the books will be named after her. This, perhaps, is a creative mistake on my part; it was originally my idea to avoid names for the two main characters until at least the end of the first book. I considered for a short time giving it a title similar to something as, "The Life and Times [...]", but shortly after realized I would run the risk of it being mistaken for a preteen series. They are not my target audience (though I do know they will likely read it in the end anyway). A title will likely not present itself until I get further along into the story.

Hopefully, soon, I'll have enough written to post small excerpts here. At least I hope! For now, I have rare snow to play in, so that would be the end of this post.
