JuNoWriMo
So I'm taking part in JuNoWriMo that's being hosted by one of my lovely friends that I've met through fictionpress. I, however, have been inspired and have two stories that I want to work on so I might not have the 50000 word target for the end of July but I shall at least have two stories that I can work on for the rest of my summer. Here are the two working titles and blurbs because knowing me they'll change...
Welcome Home, Soldier
Aaron "Newsie" Newstead fled from the small village thirteen years ago to join the army. At only sixteen, everyone thought that he was making a mistake but it turned out to be everything he wanted and more. However, his contract has ended and he has to return home. He's shocked to learn that everything has changed and that everything includes his high school sweetheart.
Marilyn Cannon is the nurse the Newstead's have hired to take care of their dying father. Despite being the teenage girl Aaron loved and left thirteen years ago, she's never really forgotten him and when she finds him sitting at his kitchen table with out a word of warning she can't help but feel that jolt of electricity that had alerted him to him in the first place.
However can she forgive and forget so that she can welcome home her soldier?
Building Bricks
Scout Crowson is the head of Crowson and sons, a business that buy old buildings and restores them or just builds brand new buildings, since the death of her father and five brothers. The latest restoration, Davenport House, not only brought along an old building but the grandson of the man that owned the business who is determined that not only does the house belong to him but so does she.
Campbell Davenport is a rich child that has his head firmly set on his shoulders. He had been going to night classes to learn about how to restore old buildings so that he could build Davenport Manor back to how amazing it once was but to his dismay, his grandfather sells it to a chain and he's determined to get it back. She, however, shocks him by offering him voluntary work so that he can do all the work that he wants to.
Can she keep this relationship strictly platonic?
