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

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
