i'm really happy with how far i've gotten on camp nano, but all of a sudden i'm really sick and shaky...ugh!

You can do it !
I'm happy that I write +500 words every night in July yet. Hope that it will stay so for a while ^.^

500 words a day is awesome, good job!!!

Thank you and also to The Worst Username! I am also not doing nano, I have a July (or more summer) goal. I really need to finish more of the storys I start.

For everyone doing Camp Nano: what's your daily word goal? Who isn't doing camp, but still has a word goal?

Not doing any Nano, because honestly fussing about word counts makes me nervous xD I am about 2 months ahead on my blog, though, and lately each post has been somewhere between 500 and 1200 (ish), including quotes.

Well, no camp nano because my summer is really busy, but I'm still trying to write 2,000 a day--it's kind of hard, though (I have about 250 left for now, and I'm in the USA, so Independence Day prep is making things a bit of a hassle).

Well, my daily word goal is around 500, as my July-month-goal is 17,000 ^^

@ranger and @wildlife - how would you guys like me to comment? on the doc itself, or via pm, or on this thread?
also, what kind of comments are you looking for? like a general review of the plot/characters, or a real detailed line-by-line, proof-reading sort of style? sorry for the clarification, but i thought i'd know how i can best critique c:

I don't really mind, whatever's easiest for you! c:
Um, mainly a pretty general review first draft, hElp unless you spot something that should be super obvious, like a spelling-mistake or something XD

I checked out your stories too--is it okay that I left comments on the docs themselves?

Yup, perfect! Thanks so much! <3 c:

Oo, I'll check out the stories too!

Thanks! (:

For everyone doing Camp Nano: what's your daily word goal? Who isn't doing camp, but still has a word goal?
I'm going for 6000 words of writing and 6000 words of outlining (by hand), so my suggested daily goal is about 388 words c:

this reminds me i haven't even started my story yet, but i'm going to.. right now. my daily goal will be 500-1,000 words a day, which shouldn't be too hard to reach, hopefully. i'm going to try and catch up with the days i missed tomorrow, so i'll write 2,000-4,000 words, hopefully. july is just a very busy month for me.

i'm doing camp nano! my july goal is 15k so i'm going for about 500-600 per day, which is about 1/3 a chapter for he story. i try to write on the bus on the way to/from work so that gives me about an hour-ish both ways. here's hoping i meet my target!

That's cool. Good luck
I'm doing camp nano as well and my july goal is 50k (this is because I've done November NaNoWriMo twice and think I can handle it). Right now my entire cabin is pretty behind lol.

all this shade about me never posting chill sorrY guys it takes my laptop a solid 3 minutes to load each page and my patience is running out quick !!

How often do you include LGBT+ characters in your stories?
surprisingly, not that often, though i have nothing against the community. i've just never really tried it out before, although i probably should get around to that eventually considering most of what i write involves romance...

How often do you get muse to write?
umm actual stories and stuff? close to never (ironic isn't it). but i almost constantly have muse for various roleplays and i write for those almost daily, so yeah. it just varies on different things. usually i get the most muse at the times i'm most busy and have no time to write - how convienent.

Are there any stories that you'd love to rewrite? (Be they your own stories or others, like existing fandoms etc.)
like some others said, i think rewriting fairy tales would be super fun. but i can't think of any of my own stories i'd like to ever recreate (considering most of them hardly made it past the second chapter anyway).

What is your favorite thing about writing?
the fact that i can kinda just be distracted from everything else for a while? nobody can tell me what to write or how to do it, so it's nice to have something as my own without the stress.

now as the routine goes, it's my turn to ask a question: (and i'm like 99% sure we've asked this in the past but it's fine)


Code: Select all

[b]who is your favorite character you've come up with? describe them to us and tell us why they're your favorite![/b]

go look at the contest thread! there'll probably be an expansion on the date because there's no telling when i'll be able to judge it.
p.s. thanks lucas for posting and advertising the contest even if you threw some shade at me it's ok ur still my bff

[Pyjaks]

who is your favorite character you've come up with? describe them to us and tell us why they're your favorite!

OH BABY. This is too hard. I honestly can't pick an all time fav so I'll talk about some more recent favorites

Asher is one of my favorites right now. She's an arrogant, intelligent, bitter, thorny princess and love interest to the main character in an untitled work. I like her a lot because shes so fun to write, but her development is also really great. She goes from a kinda sorta awful person to someone who learns to empathize and appreciate others. She also has some personal connection to me with issues she goes through (family troubles), so I relate. She cool :>

Ras is another character I adore. She's the main character of my Camp Nano project. She's a traveling mercenary who takes a job of escorting a merchants daughter (which is actually a lie but- that's another story) across the country, and romance+other stuff ensues. She's a very layered character. She's sorta pushed my limits when it comes to writing because I've had to learn how to deal with certain things that I know nothing about (PTSD, certain traumas, etc). I love her though. She kinda flails her way blindly through life and again, I relate.

Anddd I guess the last one I'll talk about is Clemente. He's a part of a sci-fi story and the bff to the main character. He's very much a follower and goes along with others, but he's his own individual, too. He's meek but unabashed, submissive but independent. He's also compassionate in a way that many characters aren't in this story, due to the nature of their universe and how they grow up. He dies a fiery death, because I'm evil, but I love him :>
