For this bloghop, I decided to post some photos and inspiration for my NaNoWriMo project. I think I may have finally decided on an idea to work with for November (hooray!), but I'm still hammering out the details, so there won't be a ton of stuff in this post.
Now, onward with the images!
First, since participants aren't limited to people, the setting of my novel. For it, Moshe Safdie's architecture has been perfect. It's exactly the kind of geometric, precise structure that I was thinking of.

Sigh. I love architecture. :)
And this little object is something that really got me thinking setting-wise:

As for my characters:
MC (Ben Barnes):

Supporting character (Alan Rickman):

Supporting character (Jeremy Irons):

Supporting character (Cate Blanchett):

And there you have my (rather short) cast. I don't want to give away much about the project, but I will say that it's going to be Science Fiction. I had thought about writing Fantasy . . . but then inspiration hit for a SF novel.

So what about you? Who would you like cast as one of your characters--or would you want to base a character on? Any favorite architects?
