Awesome job, you’re doing amazing!!!

First sentence:

Hours have gone by and I’m still in the darkness.

Last sentence:

The chill mountain air refreshes my lungs like a drink of cold water on a parched throat.

total of 2236 words today!  I’m exhausted, lol!! 🤣

How’d y’all’s writing go today?

@abigail-m, @writerlexi1216

I also thought it’d be fun to share our first and last sentences we write each day.  Here’s mine:

I hurry over the rocks so my shoes don’t get wet, but Magnus splashes through the stream, shaking the water from his long coat on the opposite bank.

And the last:

Heavy footsteps leave the room. “We stay here until we find…

Hey Lexi, just wanted to let you know that if you want, you can join me and Abigail on our Camp NaNo April group.  I think I sent you an invite.  If you don’t want to, that’s totally fine, np.  Just wanted to let you know! 😀

@kathleenramm

Awesome!!  What genre is the story?

@nova21

Wow! That’s amazing progress! Right now I’m currently working on outlining the main characters of a novel I just started working on.

@kathleenramm

Hey!  I’m actually writing rn.  As of now, I’ve written 1048 out of my goal 2414 (for Camp NaNo).  What about you?

@nova21
In the middle of writing right now and just wanted to hop in and see how you were doing! Have you made any progress today?

@writerlexi1216

Yes, I love them!!!  I haven’t read them in a while, but I’m pretty sure they’re all as good as the first one.

I just finished reading Keeper of the Lost Cities, book #1.  It’s so nostalgic, lol!!  I love it sooo much!!!!!  I’m going to try to read the whole series again.

I like to fill out character sheets for my MCs, but I always have a main motivation, dream, hate/love, and arc for all my characters.  I usually try to develop my MC before developing the world they’re in (is that good or bad?) because I want them to be active rather than passive.  I jot down what I know about the character then I b…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I’m pretty sure that works for me.  I’ll just be writing on and off for the rest of the day, so I’ll hopefully catch you around! 😉

@kathleenramm Character development is actually not my strong suit. I rarely go around planning what my characters are gonna look like before I start writing. Usually my mind goes, “I want a story about this.” And then I already have some vague ideas of what the main character is like (e.g. one personality trait, one physical appearance trait, but…[Read more]

Currently reading 50 pgs a day of The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I haven’t been this emotionally invested in a book like this since East of Eden. Ivan is my favorite character so far. Can’t wait to finish it.

@nova21
No worries! I get unexpected writing interruptions more often than not. XD

Last night’s writing was pretty productive, I did as much as I could before I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer. XD I’ll probably be writing again around 7:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. eastern time today, what time works best for you?

@abigail-m

Cool!!  We should write together for motivation/to keep each other focused!  (at least for me, lol!)

@abigail-m

Just about to start!!  Your WIP is awesome!
