No rest for the weary
Not quite twenty-four hours ago I realized, with some shock, that Camp NaNo starts tomorrow. I've thought about it a little bit, in theory; about what story to write and how to cope with the ongoing flood of other ideas and what my goal is- so I'm not entirely unprepared. I just wasn't prepared for TOMORROW.
D:
I don't even have that kind of time, this week. I'll be off for most of the month, and should be able to catch up, but I'll have a bad start, I know that already. And I have time today, too, but today doesn't count. :P
Anyway I have so many stories, and they keep popping up on a weekly, if not daily, basis. So I figured, since the rules for Camp aren't as strict, that I will focus mostly on Stardust and allot a certain wordcount towards "Other", and because I'm nuts I'm going for the full 50k, with 30k dedicated to Stardust and 20k to whatever. 'Whatever' will be easy to do. 30k on Stardust will be fucking hard, because I'm having a hard time getting back into past tense and because, I don't know, I feel like maybe I over-planned the whole story?, and maybe the fact that the conflict is actually an external thing and not between my characters is not as fascinating to me, or something. Point is, that story doesn't flow out the way some others do. So I'm a little worried that those 30k words will be an uphill struggle. But it has to happen eventually, and this month is going to be my last bit of down time for at least half a year, so I'd just like to get ahead in the story. Like, a lot. I have six-ish chapters left, 30k might actually cover that.
So yeah, NaNo tomorrow. Good gracious. >.>
