Camp Nano in July

30. June 2015

With the last chapter of Memories still refusing to leave my head and enter the digital age, I’ve decided to take part in yet another Camp Nano this year. I’ve set a low goal for myself this time around, only 10,000 words, which should be more than enough to finish the last chapter.

I’ve also got this crazy idea in my head for a science fiction short story, which I may try to write this coming month as well. Of course, I know from experience my short stories tend to turn into long novels, so we’ll just have to see how this goes once I start writing. If nothing else, it will be a good writing exercise. And one can never have enough of those.

Resources and the home stretch

I’ve added a few new worldbuilding resources to the Resource page, and also decided to organize that a bit better. As I continue to find new ones, or old ones that I lot when my computer crashed a few years back, I’ll be adding to that list. It is looking a bit short right now, but it will get better. Recommendations are more than welcome, feel free to email me or just comment with your go-to guides for all things fantasy.

In writing news, I am on the very last chapter of Memories!! I had hoped to finish that before I go off on vacation on Thursday, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to. It’s a massive thing, written from three different points of view, or possibly four or five. I’ll have to see what works best for the story. It’s planned out in detail, and in my head it’s perfect.

Now I just gotta get it typed up and looking nicely in Scrivener. Then I can devote my summer to worldbuilding for the series, as well as finishing my second draft of TAO. On top of that I just started a new fulltime job, and will be working most of the summer. Gonna be hard to fit everything in there, but I will find a way.

Writing

Eurovision + Writing = Success

Yesterday, Catrine and I took another stab at Mission: Write! Damnit! and this time some actual writing got done. Score! Today, I am watching Eurovision 2015, and suddenly found it was the perfect background music to write to. 1500 words later, Scrivener it telling me my manuscript for “Memories” is at 150,000 words exactly!

Considering where I am in the story, wrapping things up nicely, I think I’ll have this finished in another five to ten thousand words. My goal is to finish by the end of the month, so I can spend June editing TAO, getting that second draft ready.

As voting commences in Eurovision, I’ll see if I can get another thousand words written.
