For this Camp, I will be continuing to work on my story, The Main Character Syndrome of Aynnhailleah Angel Astrid.

Themes:
- Bad story tropes
- Mary Sues
- Coming-of-age

My goal is to write one episode part per day in July. (So before then, I'm going to try to clean up the episode parts I have written. :P )

I'm very intrigued by the idea of writing a story in episode parts!! How much have you written so far? :)
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

I want to beta read your novel!

@Carlito I am sorry to say that I haven’t written a whole lot yet :P I’ve written most of Episode 1, with small chunks missing from its four parts. I think I began laying the groundwork for the next episode(s) as well.

I kind of conceptualized this story as if it were a TV series, so I thought it would be fun to try it out like that.

Day 1
For today, I forced myself to finish up the loose pieces of Episode 1, so though it's a bit messy, all the parts of that are complete!

Day 2
Episode 2.1 complete. Most of it I already wrote in the past, so I did a lot more thinking about Genevieve’s character profile today.

Day 4

Currently still writing to reach my goal, but this was kind of funny so I thought I'd share!

Spoiler
Bryony let out an exclamation of disbelief. “Angel, why do you have to be so du—daring sometimes? It’s nearly pitch black out there. You literally could have had your family’s security escort you back. I’ve told you for, like, the three years that we’ve been here that it’s dangerous to be walking around off campus alone at night!”

“Calm down, I’m fine,” said Angel, waving a hand. “The gangsters that were fighting Jhémes and then chasing me earlier to the hotel totally got tired of waiting around for me, so they weren’t there when I left.”

Bryony’s jaw dropped, then she closed it with an almost audible snap. She let out a long sigh and groaned, throwing herself back on Angel’s bed with an arm over her face.

“I’m so ready for that camping trip,” she said.

Day 4 (cont.)
I have started to find that writing a whole episode part in a reasonable amount of time in a day has been a little difficult for me, so I'm going to change my goal to writing at least 500 words. So for today, my goal is complete! I worked on 2.3.

Day 5
Wrote over 500 words for 2.3. I think I could get it done tomorrow, hopefully with some funny or interesting stuff from Jhémes.

Its so great to see you are continuing your project from the previous Camp! Also loved that Day 4 excerpt - it perfectly matches the vibe of your themes!

Day 6
Wrote over 500 words for 2.3. I think that the sectioning for Episode 2 has gotten a bit uneven, so I'll just re-split the episode once I've finished this part (since it's the last one).

Day 7
Wrote probably about 600 words near the end of Ep 2. Just got to fill in a few more gaps and I'll be done with this one.
