Author's Picks for August

Hopefully that will be the last time I am behind again.  I wanted to spend the rest of the summer writing ideas that I had.  Starting tomorrow, I will go back to prompts.  I will be working on the second list now.  The link to follow along can be found here.

My top five favorites, due to the large month. 

5. Day 206: In the Land of Nog~ It was fun inventing this world.

4. Day 200: The Underground Railroad~ I felt connected with the protagonist in my story, and I always enjoyed reading about this part of history, even though it is terribly sad and unjust.

3. Day 204: Sneaking Out of the House~ This is one of my Maple Heights stories.  This story revealed some character traits and backstory to me that I didn't think of before.  I like it when writing unexpected helps me like that.  It's not just mindless babbling but the pieces of a puzzle now.

2. Day 222: Our Best Friend~ I love the idea of the Chipmunks becoming Christians.  While I am not pleased with how this was executed (I pictured it bigger, more drawn out, and more spiritual), I like what the thought of Christianity does to each character.  They are each affected by its introduction and outcome in different ways.

1. Day 216: Comfort~ Another Maple Heights story.  I had some difficulty writing out the idea I had for Robert, but I am pleased with how it turned out.  I feel closer to him now, and he's almost my favorite from the group.
