About the New World
So I thought I'd share some pictures of how I think the New World looks, none of these are my own work they have just been gathered off various websites:
These are sort of what I imagined for the cages that are in the streets for the weres' that couldn't control themselves.
This is sort of how I imagine the docks - the world is still very similar and having parts built/rebuilt but the docks are really busy and the building around the docks have shops and businesses in.
This is another possibility for the future landscape (however this was chosen more because I like it).
This is a more realistic version of the futurescape of Smallbites. It's very modern and less futuristic...

A bit about me...Future Author (I hope)!
Hi All,
So I know that I haven't really introduced myself, highly rude of me! So sorry!
Okay, where to begin? My name is not Alice, it was my late Nan's name...I decided to use it because I am somewhat at risk of being outed on a large scale if I use my given name, you see, I am a Computing Teacher. Any teacher who may read this will know how quickly word can travel within a school and it would be lovely to have a bit of anonymity for once.I also have other motivations, which any person who writes will surely understand? This is like my diary - a part of me that I do not wish everyone to see on a wide scale whilst still unvarnished. Which is the whole point in this blog in the first place to be honest (for the feedback!). Being a teacher - feedback is important to me. I feel like this is a laughable point but unless you are a teacher I don't think you will find it funny (har har).
Anyway, I am 23 years old (sadly, I am 24 in exactly 3 weeks today) and have established a career and been to university, attempted to gain some independence along the way and created myself a fall back plan...however, writing has always been something of a dream. I had an idea for my book a very long time ago, I started to plan it when I was roughly 14 and it's developed and evolved along the way. The Connie whom I originally started to write about is nothing like the Constance that is the main character in my book. Please feel free to ask me about the changes, I still love some of my original ideas for Connie and her amazingness!
Now, some of you may have noticed that it's summer (unless you are in the UK like myself and do not have a summer)...therefore the SUMMER HOLIDAYS which is why I am currently writing and finding the time to actually attempt to live my dream, however it's very difficult to do so when you are starting from the bottom (as I am sure many of you are aware), so please feel free to read my excerpts from my book and the back story of some of the characters, I am developing them along the way! Also, any input from you guys will be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!

Smallbites
My gutsy, furry, best friend and her pals. That's what this blog is about...maybe I should have explain before I posted about Grey.
Essentially this is a blog with everything relating to Smallbites. What is Smallbites you ask? It may or may not be a book I am writing...if you know me and you are reading this then keep it to yourself, it's a bit weird because this is like my diary but I just had to share it. If you don't know me...hey! Hope you like it...when I eventually post some of Smallbites. What I have so far is a back story for one of my characters (well more of an intro to the back story).
I don't know if I can post all of Smallbites in here cause it's getting on for 35k words now and I'm not sure if there's a limit?
Any advise for making this blog lark work is very welcome as I am totally confused with what I am doing right now...
Thanks in advance guys and gals!
P.S not sure if I should be using a pen name...oh dear.
P.P.S totally not happy with the font choices!
P.P.P.S trying to get the hang of this so I can post more stuff from my book!
