It's seems like I'm constantly entitling my post with some variation of "I'm Alive!!!" so I thought I would just cut to the chase this time. Obviously, I am alive, but I'm not really on livejournal much anymore. I've actually mostly moved to deviantart, which I thought I would never do because writing is writing and art is art. However, dA has a small little literature community that I'm trying to nestle into. I still check my friends page everyday out of habit, though it seems I'm not the only one who has moved on, and I'm the solo mod for the bigbang_mixup (and if I ever used non-writing related rants, that would take centerstage for seriously!), so I'm around in the ether.
Campnano is happening this year. I'll be writing Bound by Blood again this year because in sticking with camps past I am continuing the blood brothers series. Campnano 2011 was Thick as Blood and campnano 2012 was Bound by Blood. After that really terrible nano that I don't really want to talk about, I rewrote Thick as Blood. It now stands at 130.5k and I still need to write the last chapter and epilogue. Obviously, that will be finished before July 1st. This year, camp is customizable. We can choose what our word count goal will be.
For me, 50k is incredibly doable even when I face increasing apathy for my novel. I want to challenge myself, but how much...
50k = 1.6k a day
60k = 1.9k a day
75k = 2.4k a day
100k = 3.2k a day
I think I might go for 75k. Nano 2008 I got 63k between two different stories, so before I was very disciplined I was able to get over 60k. Decisions, decisions. Tomorrow I'll see about uploading some character sheets. I need to get two done like right now, but I keep putting them off. Accountability! I need you.
