10K – DAY! LIVE STREAM SUNDAY
Join us for a 10k day on Sunday, July 21st, as we tackle our Camp Nano projects.
Bring your own project to work on or just come to cheer us on. We’re starting at 10AM GMT (6AM EST)
We’ll alternate sprinting and chatting to encourage each other to hit 10k words in one sitting. You’d be surprised how difficult that is, but it’s easier with support.

Are you ready?

What’s New and What’s Next @litewings.ink
I’m trying a new format.
I want to keep a record of my progress and give a little insight into my process. Let me know what you think in the comments!
STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES
I got a new job (fun but challenging!), went on vacation (same!), and took a major break from my projects (almost as hard). Whew! It’s a busy Summer already, and we’re just getting started.
I’ve been trying to realign my life and balance the things that belong with the new things that are coming into my orbit. Sadly I had to let go of some of the things I enjoyed, but I am convinced I made the right decisions.
During all the activity, I took May off my writing and organizing projects. I was tempted a time or two, but I managed it. Resting is not easy for me, but it’s essential to the creative process and I respect that. I have some hard work on the horizon and I’m glad I took the time.
June has two major projects but they don’t run concurrently. We shall see how it goes.
CURRENT NOVEL PROGRESS
One of those projects is continuing to work on TDG this month and next month for Camp Nanowrimo.
I still expect to publish in January 2025 so stay tuned for updates.

APRIL CAMP NANO 2O24 UPDATE: The Bitter End
Well, I didn’t hit 50k, but my goal was 30k and I got more than 10k over that, so I’m happy.
In Other News:
I am running a PAPERBACK PROMO for the month of MAY.
You can get a free signed paperback when you purchase either the ebook or paperback copy.
Get one for yourself and one for a friend.
I’m taking May off from my projects so I can hit them hard next quarter.
Novel 3, TDG, is back from the developmental editor and I have new direction and new ideas. I’ll begin working on that for the next CAMP NANOWRIMO in JULY. Stay tuned for updates
What are you working on this summer?

APRIL CAMP NANO 2024 UPDATE: Back in the Game
Well. I wasn’t sure I was going to make it.
Then I had a 5k Stream last Tuesday night.
Yes. I wrote over five thousand words in just a couple of hours on my regular stream which happens Tuesday nights on YouTube.
I hit my 30k goal and just kept on rolling
So I’m back in the game. I can see the end and I am almost there. Just another couple of streams like that and I’ll win.
What’s your goal for Camp Nano? Have you hit it yet? Will you by the 30th?
We have one more stream for those still writing. It’ll be tonight, April 30th, at 5PM Central. Hope you can make it!
Just click the link to join my channel.

NANOWRIMO 2023: FINALE
Nanowrimo Update: I didn’t win, but I got my story more or less mapped out, and that’s a kind of win. Time to put away the manuscript and work on other things. My focus in December is rest and special time with friends and family, so don’t be worried if you don’t hear from me until the new year. It’s how I take care of myself.
Let’s talk about December.
I struggle this time of year and if you do too you might like this JINGLE HELL
If you’re Advent-oriented, read my series on PEACE, JOY, LOVE, and HOPE
If you’re a writer, I wrote special editions for you. Here’s your Peace, Joy, Love, and Hope.
If you’re into fiction, I will have a four-part story for you in January. In the meantime, you can read
BURCH 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, and JUSTINE 1 ,2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 for a refresher.
The prompts for the January story are in JUSTINE: THAT’S A WRAP
I hope you have a very merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a splendid new year.
Best wishes for 2024!
NANOWRIMO 2023: WEEK 3
Slow week this week and it’s only going to get busier.
DAY 12: 327
DAY 13: 31
DAY 14: 2,361 during the stream
DAY 15: 65.
DAY 16: 1,336, better, but still not where I want to be
DAY 17: during the stream, 2,667
DAY 18: 784 and forgot to update, so lost my streak.
Even though this hasn’t gone as I planned, I’m still proud of myself for doing it and for keeping up with my progress. I’ve learned a lot, as usual.
What’s your current word count? Are you going strong or stuck in the muddy middle?
