Camp NovMo ‘25 - Haunting of Abandoned Lighthouses

Existential Error 404

You know what’s the scariest thing that writer can do? Stop writing. And since certain crow with certain reputation about procrastination (who could it possibly be?) haven’t written anything in quite some time, this Camp we will try to haunt the abandoned projects! And lighthouses. There’s a reason why I talk about lighthouses a bit too much here.
It’s not NovMo if Kay isn’t leading revolution against “official way” how NovMo works, so here is how it will look like in my lighthouse:

From 3rd to 13th of July the lighthouse keeper (lighthouse crow?) leads an expedition into nowhere (scout camp). Most important thing during these days will be to keep a journal for future lighthouse keepers. I have two goals here:
• write at least one journal entry per day
• get at least to 150th page of Journal #6

For rest of month, we will need to do some work around the lighthouse, which means that I’ll try to do some progress - no matter how small- in these ten projects:

Spoiler

Clockwheel Cities, The Ghostmatist, Codename Oreo (aka NovMo’25 WIP), OceanWIP, that one short story about necromancer who works as a private detective, The Fenomenals, Nyra, Mage of Greenhill, spooky short stories collection and whatever idea that pops out of nowhere in middle of July!

yayayyy you got this, Kay!! >:3 love the "Existential Error 404" too :0

ooh, spooky! You better add stale rožkys to this! (jk, but it could be fun right?)

Day: July 1
Progress: four pages in Journal #6, opening for The Fenomenals
Notes/Quotes:

Spoiler

First sentence of The Fenomenals will for now be: I've been officially dead for three days now, which seems like the perfect time to start writing autobiography.

Lol! I love that first line. XD

agreed; that first line is amazing XD indeed, what could be a better time to start writing your autobiography? >.>

Day: July 2nd
Progress: huge editing on Oreo
Notes/Quotes:

The line between extraordinary and ordinary was wide enough to fit the northern beach inside.

Which sounded way better in Slovak and now I'm angry >:(

Day: July 3rd - July 13th
Progress: scout journal aka I finished entire Journal # 6 in ten days
Notes/Quotes: Origin of my craziest lore is documented on those pages.

Day: 14th - 18th
Progress: none, but I've lost my sleep schedule and sanity
Notes/Quotes: We call this part "preparing designs for final presentation during coding camp"

Day: July 19th and 20th
Progress: randomly sat down and wrote 2k words long fanfiction
Notes/Quotes: This is exactly the kind of thing I consider "idea that pops out of nowhere and is so random that I haven't even give it a thought while creating my Camp NovMo goals"

(this is spot for days in between)

Day: July 26th
Progress: Mage of Greenhill editing, rewriting of first chapter of Nyra, beginning of some short story for collection
Notes/Quotes: It sounds like a lot, but I don't feel satisfied. Since last NovMo, I'm constantly struggling with writer's block and I'm pretty much unable to write anything except for my journal. Small progress is also progress but it still doesn't feel great.

Day: July 27th
Progress: started a short story for that spooky collection, some work in Stamp Collection
Notes/Quotes:

However, it was the shadows that always told rest of the story.

Day: July 28th
Progress: small editing and translations in chapter 3 of Clockwheel Cities, second chapter of The Ghostmatist, progress in short story about that medium
Notes/Quotes: Yay, a bit more progress! I forgot about whole "polar bear in opera" thing in Clockwheel Cities and now I'm tempted to write entire spin-off based on it.

Day: 29th of July
Progress: nope
Notes/Quotes: This part is called "room renovations, yee-haw!"

Day: 30th of July
Progress: small progress in Oreo, work around The Ghostmatist (CH2) and first chapter/prologie of OceanWIP
Notes/Quotes: Is... that... my... writing... spark... returning??? Also, what's better day to hit your Camp NovMo goal then the literal last day?
