I have been all work and no play lately. I did manage to sit by the pool and read a bit over the weekend, but the days have been long and kinda brutal.
This too shall pass, I know, but the reality is I need to be better at regulating my time and efforts. All work and no play makes me very dull indeed. I definitely need some playtime, but I’m not sure yet how to get it. With July just around the corner, it feels even more pressing to get some relaxation in before CAMP NANO starts.
Any suggestions? What do you do when you need to play? Let me know in the comments.
STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES
TDG PREP BEGINS TONIGHT!
I’m planning to write 25K words in July, and it’s time to get serious about planning.
During my stream tonight (see below) I will start with notecards and post-its and try to generate some ideas for the next stage of writing. Then it’s time to write some backstory, do character questionnaires, and do anything else I can think of before July 1st.
Have you started a NANO project? Are you picking up an old one like me? I’d love to discuss.
CURRENT NOVEL PROGRESS
Goal: 25K NEW words in July. I still expect to publish in January 2025.
Wish me luck in the comments!
