I'm starting to get pretty nervous abut the upcoming Camp. Not only do I still have 110 pages to read and edit through, but I hardly have any idea what I'm going to write!! Ahhh!! And my camp cabin is still not right, so I'm trying to fix that so I have nice people in it. -_- Oh the tragic and stressful life of a writer haha. Alright, well I'll see what I can do. There are two arcs that I need to finish, one in P1 and one in P2 but I'm not sure what'll happen in them yet. I should probably plan those out, huh? Yeah.. I'll get to that. Well, that's all for now, chall later! (that's cya all + chat with you all later)

AHHH!! July Camp Nano is coming soon and I'm not ready -_- <3 <3 <3 (that's me going "huff, huff, huff")...
Well, my goal of June was to go through my book and edit everything. But I kind of forgot that I needed to outline a bit of what I was going to write in July or I would be in a pickle. So yeah. I'm a little bit behind editing since this month has been oddly crazy busy. I've been going from tutoring to eschool to other summer school to more tutoring to tennis and tennis and tennis some more to homework and then to volunteering and more volunteering. Whew! And thus I've only edited about 300 pages, which isn't too bad, but I need to start outlining. Ahhhh!!!
Anyway, in terms of outlining, I'm going back and adding in sections and character development. As I mentioned before, I'm keeping all the characters I have, but I'm going back to their background stories and adding it in so the readers can begin to understand their outer motives a little better, and they'll (hopefully) see how each character plays a slightly different role than all the rest. Alrighty, that's all for now. Wish me luck in the last 12 days of June!

I've somehow found some time to edit/write. In the past two days, I've written 3043 words (7-8 pages), which ALMOST meets the Nano quota of 1666 per day. And considering I haven't really written much ever since the last Camp in April, I'm pretty happy about that.
As for SSChron, I decided to keep all ten major characters for this and that reason. I'm going back and adding to the backstories of each character right now. I realized that out of the eight I've introduced thus far, the readers don't really know about who the characters are in terms of background, except for one, or maybe one and a half :) I decided to start in Part 2 for backstories just because they're easy to write about, not to mention that there are characters in that place that I enjoy writing about.
So that's what I'm doing right now. Hurrah. I'm hoping that while I continue editing, that I'll get some inspiration for what to write in... wait for it... July's Camp Nano!! Whoo, I'm pretty excited. It's the second and last camp of the year and is pretty much the same thing as the April camp. As usual, my goal is 50K although it would be lovely if I wrote more. I'm hoping that I'll dream about the next place to go, actually. Because whenever I receive direct inspiration from a dream about what place to go to (not small details that I add in such as the eye color etc), those places are the most enjoyable to write and always become my favorite places with my favorite characters. Alrighty, good night. ~~

Well yesterday I was working from the very beginning of SSChron, editing. And so right now I'm at the beginning of chapter one. Whoo. That's all, really. I haven't been able to write much because of extracurricular activities, homework, and anything and everything in between. I can't wait for summer so I have some time to write and do what I want. Of course, I'm taking summer courses and some jobs, so I may not be able to write as much as I want to in the first place. Not to mention that nobody is being particularly supportive of my want to write so I am having ZERO motivation to write anything. Alright, that's all for now. We'll see if I am able to write anything.
