We’re Off to See the Conference

Now, I just need a “yellow brick road.”

So, some exciting news!  I’m going to a writing conference in a couple of weeks now, and I’ve been trying to figure out what novel I’d like to “pitch.”  After a lot of careful consideration, I’ve decided to pitch Exodus, a myth-style fantasy story of two young women.  One is cursed by an angry goddess, and the other had an ill-fated romance with the son of the chief.  Now, they’ve been exiled from their home.  They’ve lived their whole lives in the protection of their village, and now they must fend for themselves against all the dangers of the jungle—cannibals, warring tribes, and vicious demons—as they forge their way toward a kingdom they’ve only heard of in tales.  All the while, they attract the attention of a cunning god and a desperate king.

I’m pretty excited!  Scared, too, but excited.  At the very least, this should be interesting.
