writing adventure notice 2

So I'm going to attempt to start a new project soon.

It'll hopefully be pretty big, like Climbing Out of the Pit status (to those who know what that means) so it won't end up on the blog for a while because I'm going to write it all out first, and not do parts like I've done with some other stuff. Granted, Writing Adventure will still have little stories every once in a while like now, but I wanted to say that I'm trying something bigger so that I can be held accountable.

Here's my idea: a historical fiction piece about Amanirenas, told in first person from her point of view. In case you're not aware of who she is (I call her the greatest queen the world will never remember, which hints that not many people are aware), Amanirenas was queen of a country called Kush around 24 BCE. She was a warrior queen, and led her people against Augustus and the Roman Army, a very powerful force in that time.

I'm doing this for a couple of reasons: 1) I'm not really into first person, so it would be good to get some experience, and 2) I've never seen anyone try and write her story in a historical fiction novel or short story, and she has a tremendous story to tell.

Considering how long ago that was, there's next to nothing out there about her. So most of this story will be fiction. But, from what little information there is, one can see the tragedy that she went through. She's an inspiration, and she's inspiring me to do this. So if you see me, tell me to work on this story, because I must accomplish this!

Also, if anyone wants to Google her, you should! Then, you should get back to me with some titles!!! (I'm quite terrible at them.)
