July Camp 24: A Combo Platter

Part One.... **No Bunny But You** Goal: Finish line edits! One scene per day NBBY was most recently seen during NaNo 23 when I was working on a full re-write! The re-write has sat for a few months now, so it's time for line edits. Plus, I was recently given the feedback to change it from past to present tense, so I'm working on that. I will admit I rejected this advice until I consulted my bookshelf and was horrified to learn that yes, 95% of my favorite ya romances are written in present and not past tense. With my current pace, I expect this goal to take until ~mid-July which leads to.... Part Two.... **Every Reason Why** Goal: Get closer to the end! 10k words Will I ever finish a draft or will it always remain a tease?? I most recently worked on this during July Camp 23 . I've dabbled with it a little this year and planned some more scenes and have more of a direction for the end! It's close ish to the end. 10k won't get me there, but that's okay! I also can't be cruel to @IcyFlame and say I'm going to finish it this time for reallllllllllllll for the 500th time. But may whatever momentum I gather doing a 10k camp goal carry into August where maybe I will finally finish a draft.

Day 20
WE'RE BACK TO EVERY REASON WHY.

Today: 673
Month total: 727
Manuscript total: 46,287 (I feel like i've been in the 40k range for foreverrrrrr now. I have to get over the 50k hump this month!!)
A line?
Having seen it so many times now, I thought I’d be used to it, and here he was still taking my breath away.

Just getting warmed up!

Today total isn't the same as the month total because I wrote 54 whole words on day 11

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Ask a Therapist!
I want to beta read your novel!

Ask me anything. Talk to me about anything. Seriously. My PM box is always open <3
