Summer Projects and Camp Nano Prep

Summer days…wow they’ve been busy. Hooray for having plenty to do, but I’m also looking forward to a breather. Sitting by the pool will be a priority over the next few days. I have projects running out of my ears but I am glad to have so many things on my plate. It makes me feel accomplished. Rest is an accomplishment too (especially for an overachiever) so I need to make room for relaxation.

Do you prefer things busy or calm? Let me know in the comments.

STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES

June has two projects in the works and neither is going smoothly. So far between work and other obligations, I haven’t done much prepping for TDG, but I still have some time.

I’m planning to write 25K words in July and if I don’t start some idea generating, I won’t be ready. Fortunately, that’s a pretty low bar to set, so as long as I get back on track I will be happy.

The other project is frustrating because I haven’t received the necessary tools to start.

CURRENT NOVEL PROGRESS

Goal: 25K NEW words in July. I still expect to publish in January 2025.

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.

LINSEY with GOODBYE & LUKE

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!

APRIL CAMP NANO 2024 UPDATE: The Muddy Middle

Greetings from the Muddy Middle.

If you were able to make my stream on Saturday, you’ll know I did manage to hit 10k that day despite an allergy headache and losing close to 2000 words.

If you didn’t catch it, It’s still on YouTube. Drop by and give it a like if you will.

This means I’m almost caught up to my NaNoWriMo goal of 50k. I will be happy when I reach 30k but I plan to push through as long as I can.

How are you doing on your goal? Is that halfway point as hard for you as it is for me? Are you looking forward to the downhill slide?

Let me know.

APRIL CAMP NANO 2024 Update

Hello all!

Happy New Year, Happy Spring, and Happy Camp Nano!

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

I haven’t felt much like writing but maybe that’s because this year has gone well so far. I’m pleased to say I’m making progress. If that turns into not updating here as often, you’ll know it’s a good sign.

TDG, or NOVEL 3, is currently in draft 4 and with the Developmental Editor. I plan to work on it more for JULY CAMP NANO after I get those editing notes back. For now, I’m starting a new project at a new time of year.

APRIL CAMP NANO is a new project, but an old idea. If you remember the notebook challenge I did in November of 2023, you know I mined my old notebooks for ideas. Well, one of them caught and I’m embarking on a ZERO DRAFT this month. Wish me luck.

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!
