While http://campnanowrimo.org delights in making cutesy summer camp references, I thought I'd go with another camp metaphor: climbing a mountain1. We'll start here, with the base camp blog, and then make another every week, or at another interval. I'll take care of this week's administration, and then we can take turns doing the following weeks.
Let's use this site to do our chatting and what not, seeing as CampNano's servers are hopelessly overburdened and will likely continue to be for at least another few days.1 – And then I realised, too late, that a campy metaphor would have been even better!
Genres are overrated anyway.
Anyway guys, I'm dropping this on it's head for a while; I'm working on my game first, and that's only during my spare time. I have way too much to do these days…yeah, this is day 3 of me waking up going "oh shi- i need to release my Completition game first". WHICH IS SO FINISHED KILIN >:(
Man, it's been too long since I've written like this. Kinda forgot what a rush it is and how much I enjoy it. And it helps that I can type at decent rate these days (I was so abysmally bad at typing during my first Nano that I figured it would be faster to write it out by hand – man I used a lot of pens on that).
I've never written something like this before but I'm certainly liking it and the feedback from others helps a lot too :)
I'm having a different kind of fun with my entry.
Hope everything is going well with everyone's writing (or other projects, it's good to be doing any kind of creative work)! Two more days and we're moving to a new blog post.
I started on Chapter Three today and a few things took kind of an unexpected turn, but a turn for the better. I've gone a lot lighter on planning for this story than I usually like to, but I think I actually have a general idea for the ending now (it kind of eluded me for the months I was ruminating on this story concept and that's a large part of why I didn't start earlier).For the record, I update my word count pretty much on a weekly basis. Don't worry, I haven't dropped this at all. However, I may not be keeping up to my quota, which is still a shame.
I'm not sure why you wouldn't update your word count whenever you save your text, but why not I guess. I'm nearly done with chapter 3 at nearly 3.5k words, so everythint is coming along nicely for me.
Because I work in short bursts and I'm too lazy to get on the site.
It's Sunday evening by my time, so I'm about ready to retire this blog. I may write a bit more before midnight, but for all intents and purposes I wrote 7 659 words this week, and I'm fairly pleased with how my novella's turning out so far. Here's hoping week two goes even better!
