Camp NaNo 2023
So... I have made the decision to join camp nano this year.
I wasn't originally planning on doing this on account of being burnt out and having to work and stuff but! Things have changed!
I'm still burnt out. I still have to work. However, I am more motivated than ever to get CMI done. Well, technically it's already done, I'm just completely re-writing it to make it align more with what I envision it to be now
So! Camp NaNo! My goal this month is 36k words. ~30k is finishing Call Me Icarus, the other 6k is writing two (2) horror short stories to submit to an anthology centering ASD and horror
So yeah! I guess y'all should be on the lookout for some more writing content from me here! In the meantime, enjoy this moodboard I made:

camp nanowrimo july 2023: day 22
word progress: 29,644 / 40,000
just about 350 words away from hitting 30k words aka 3/4 of my word goal! honestly feels a bit unreal.
my protagonist had another interaction with her love interest in the section i wrote today. i'm almost at the section where they properly meet for the first time, which is the part i wrote when i initially came up with this wip idea! so that's super exciting. :D
i also went to the library today and got a book to read when i'm done with camp nano! i picked up the gilded wolves by roshani chokshi, which i've already read but i wanted to reread it so i can continue the series. omg that book's ending BROKE ME when i first read it. i'm not looking forward to reliving it. :(
my favorite line that i wrote today:
"I groaned, my elbow crying out in pain from hitting the cold, hard floor. However, it paled in comparison to the pain of embarrassment that I felt."

Camp NaNo Day 4
Finished the little fairytale today! I hate that I had to give it a sad ending though 😭 I still have some more worldbuilding to do but this is the most writing I've done in months so I'm gonna share now.
The boy told her not to. He couldn't leave her. He told her they would find a different plant, one with the opposite effects of the Siddellenda for humans. That could save them instead, and he would get to be with her, in her world. Lila knew, though, that this wasn't an option. There just wasn't time. 
Maybe after I edit it a little I can show you guys the whole thing. I'm rather proud of it.

I doubt I'll be able to write everyday but YOLO.
Link to my NaNoWriMo page.
Tagging my BL crew: @panic-whump @cupcakes-and-pain @lonesome--hunter @latenightcupsofcoffee @badluck990 let me know if you want to be tagged in excerpts!

Camp NaNo Update!
I hit 25% of my Camp NaNoWriMo update today! I am a little behind because I am better at procrastinating than I am writing, but all is good. When ao3 is back up and running (i am going crazy because it is down) I will be posting the prologue(s) and probably the first chapter. I will be posting it on here, ao3, wattpad, and possibly my instagram. I am very excited to be writing this story, and my imagination has been running wild with it. There will not be as many Lacuna things being posted (sorry), because I am trying to put most of my energy in this project. Apologies for rambling so much. Have a good writing month!!

I missed the first day of Camp NaNo due to not feeling great. I'm still not feeling great but better than yesterday so time to get some words out and onto the page!

Well, I ended July Camp NaNo with 4.9k of my 20k goal. But, I have been writing everyday so at least there’s that.
I’m still aiming to have this wip finished and the first round of edits done by Halloween.

Camp Nano day 24
Back to daily updates; I'm not writing very much what with balancing streaming and the fact that I'm going to a convention this coming week!
Tumblr media
I am still chipping away at Stella and Cecil's stuff; I've been writing some nsfw with one of my ace characters that I've been really excited to write as an aroace :) I wanted there to be some more explicit ace-ness to the encounter and it's been so fun to do!
ANYWAYS, here's the excerpt:
“S-sorry.” She mumbled, steadying herself and getting out of his grip; staying near him for any more than a moment was sure to light a fire in the bottom of her heart. “I… you scared me.” “No worries. You decided to get in today? Did you get hurt?” “Ah, no, not really… just… decided to on a whim.” “I see.” He propped his arms on the edge next to her, laying his head down on top of them, his head turned to the side, emerald eyes observing her. “I… almost got caught on the way here.” “Why? Did someone go to your room?” “What? No… I… go to the hall to find the door.” “Ah.” Cecil said as if a wave of recognition hit him. “The door’s location isn’t fixed, you know. It was just a coincidence that it appeared where it did. If you try, it should appear in your room.” “Really?” “Yes. I can also materialize it in your room if I want.” This comment was followed by a near unnoticeable smirk on his face, his eyes glinting, like flicks of gold dancing among the green. “P-please warn me first…” She sighed as she buried her face in her hand, unable to look at him. The more she talked to him, the worse this feeling got; this unbearable, strong ache in her chest. Still, even then, the two of them talked for a while, relaxing in the water; she found herself not feeling so weird about being naked at the end of it. Perhaps it was his influence, or perhaps she had just started getting accustomed to it. Cecil even turned around when she got out. She looked at him quizzically. “Why are you doing that?” Stella questioned as she lifted her upper body out of the water. “Didn’t you already take a look earlier?” The tone of her voice was sarcastic as she stared at him with a frown, but without turning around, Cecil shook his head. “I didn’t.” He reassured her; she couldn’t see his face, but it didn’t sound like he was lying. “It seems that you are still bothered by this, so I won’t look if it bothers you.” “O-oh…” Stella was a little relieved, but there was another feeling; something small, slowly eating its way through her. “Thank you.” It took no time for her at all to dry, and the whole time, Cecil was at the other end of the pool, peering out of the windows, refusing to look at her. It seemed that he truly hadn’t been lying, after all. Or perhaps, he was feeling a little bashful? Something told her that he was being shy, though she had no reasonable proof.

Camp Nanowrimo Update #2!
Tumblr media
Okay I did it again. I forgot to update!
Project: CHRYSALIS & REQUIEM
Age Market and Genre: New Adult Dark Academia
Goals:
Write 25,000 words
Complete my latest rewrite
Associated with Camp Nanowrimo July 2023
Progress:
Jul 17, 2023 711 words Jul 16, 2023 550 words Jul 15, 2023 548 words Jul 14, 2023 489 words Jul 13, 2023 202 words Jul 12, 2023 142 words Jul 11, 2023 1159 words Jul 10, 2023 1616 words Jul 9, 2023 1145 words
In other words/numbers:
24,292 / 25,000 total words / 97.17%
Comments:
I'm SO close to the end of my goal which means the end of this wip draft FINALLY and it's a pretty clean draft too! This wip came from many rewrites and I truly feel this is the one as it's much more well rounded and detailed. So much nuance and uses a lot of my learnings about writing. Might be able to finish it this week!
What helped:
Taking a break. As you can see, my word count per day went down for a while. I was a bit nervous to approach the final chapter of this novel as I want to make sure it's... perfect? It doesn't have to be but there is some self held expectations around it. But I'm getting through and getting there for real
On top of taking a break, having a step away in general is good because your mind will open up to more ideas when you see things from further away

Haah...finally finished the script. Felt like pulling teeth to finally sit down and write today, but endings are always hard.
Unfortunately, I think that was the easy part of this whole process, but the rest can wait to start until May.
Tomorrow, the rest of my Camp Nano goal turns toward writing funny murder on the train story. Yay~

camp nanowrimo july 2023: day 07
word count: 10,032 / 40,000
first week of camp nano complete! and omg i hit 10k words today and i'm officially a fourth of the way towards 40k! i'm surprised i managed to do so since today i felt very little motivation to write. i didn't do my afternoon writing session where i write half of my daily goal so i had to do everything in the evening. i managed to pull together over 1k words in an hour and ended around 11:30pm (cutting it a bit close as always).
the lack of motivation came from what i talked about a couple days ago; chapter three is where things start going downhill and i'm lowkey scared to write it. i'm most likely going to make myself sad while writing it so i'll just have to accept it and push through. i'm almost to the part where everything starts going wrong, so i'll probably reach it sometime tomorrow. wish me luck :'(
my favorite line that i wrote today:
"On a normal day, I would head to the witches’ study or directly to [name]’s office to see what she wanted [other name] and I to work on that day.  She would also bring us breakfast and tea to have while she discussed her plans with us."
(there's nothing special about this line, i just wish i was living in it lol)

Camp NaNo Day 3
Got some real writing done today! Got into a flow so good I almost couldn't stop to go to bed lol.
Snippet is from the fairytale . Things have names in this one lol that's an accomplishment.
Eventually, the mermaids would discover Siddellana and Siddellenda. Two nearly identical plants, except that where Siddellenda was a blue rose-like flower, Siddellana was bright pink. They both gave off a bit of a glow and were larger than the human rose. The merfolk quickly found that Siddellana could be used to temporarily give merfolk human legs. These plants were rare, and so the merfolk that found them gave the first one to their queen.
