Well hello there. I have so many projects going on now. But it feels good to be deep in them and not just thinking about it. I still have to re-edit Desdinova for print. Dang, I just need to DO IT! and be over it!
I enjoyed July Camp Nano... I worked on a YA novel Southern Gothic. I still have a lot of work to do on it, but I am glad to have written all that I have-- it feels like something now, instead of just an idea.
I am enrolled in AugNoWriMo now. For this camp, I decided to work on some short stories from the "story idea jars" and the files I have. I wanted to just have some of them DONE, and not clogging my files. Then I wrote one of the short stories, and hmmm, figured it would fit into a future novel idea perfectly.. And I had the brainflash that not every idea actually needs to be written up-- I need to work on the important things. The big projects.
So I decided to just write the anthology story for AugNo, and go back to Southern Gothic. There is a list on the AugNo forum boards of all the different Camps thru the year, so I am thinking of just keeping on with them.
I am looking forward to an October Camp for gothic novels. Got a fleshy idea for that one too!
I am going to just state right here- that my goal for the next time IWSG rolls around- I will have Desdinova available in print.. Yikes, so I better get busy here!
Happy inky trails to all my fellow writers!
You are a busy, busy girl. You can do it.

Thanks Jai, I certainly hope so! I get so impatient to have it all done though...
ReplyDeleteAt least you have time to write. I'm having WIP withdrawals! xD
ReplyDeleteGreat post. :)
August co-host and IWSG #110
Good luck. It sounds like you have a lot to get through this month. I did the July Camp NaNo, I didn't realize there was an August one going on too.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, I'll be honest, I don't make the best use of my time. I spend a lot of time "being human". (Shameful, I know!)
ReplyDeleteJennifer: There are Camps about every month of the year! For August: augnowrimo.proboards.com
That's a big goal! Best of luck! :-)
