My Camp NaNoWriMo goals were writing-related, not project-specific, since the writing process includes more than putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). It's more like—write; edit; promote; repeat. Plus all the in-between steps. Too many to mention.
I'm juggling a lot of projects right now. I knew dedicating the month to one book was an unrealistic target so I set up some flexible writing-related goals.
1. reformat / pre-edit A Wizard's Choice
2. schedule A Vampire's Tale promotions
3. start my latest work-in-progress (WIP)
I reformatted my soon-to-be released book A Wizard's Choice and emailed it to my editor. She sent it back with round 1 edits / comments, and I'm in the process of addressing her mark-up.
A cover reveal for A Wizard's Choice will be coming soon...
I ran a successful 99c/99p promotion for A Vampire's Tale around the Easter long weekend. Promos ran with Red Roses Romance, Pillow Talk Books, and Romance Reads.
My latest WIP is turning out to be a massive undertaking. I have had to do a lot of pre-writing research—including pages and pages of handwritten notes and diagrams—so my word count is less than 500, but my storyline is sorted... and after a little more thinking... the writing will start in earnest.
Chapters: Interactive Stories released my TapTale Fly Boy as a visual novel in April too which was really exciting. Check out the book trailer.
All in all, April was a successful writing month for me. I can't wait for better weather so I can write outside in my family room.

Camp Nanowrimo?
To write or not to write.
I’ve been debating about Camp Nanowrimo this year. I still have a few days to decide... Last November was my first official Nanowrimo, and I finished my book A Wizard’s Choice (release date July 2019). It was an intensive, crazy, nothing-but-writing kind of month. I think I ate, slept, wrote, and bought Christmas presents. Yeah. I even delayed starting the latest season of Outlander. I know.
Do I want to do that again in April? I have a bunch of projects-writing and non-writing-on the go so a concentrated effort on the writing front wouldn’t hurt. That’s for sure. But April also means income taxes and book edits and better weather.
So, I’m on the fence about Camp Nanowrimo.
I printed off the daily goal calendar yesterday. I thought about penciling in some word count targets. It doesn’t have to add to 50k... Lord knows I started A Wizard’s Choice long before November. Maybe I’ll go for 1K every few days? Maybe I’ll count research as a goal?
Anything, any tool, any writing holiday, any moment I’m breathing on this fine earth can be a potential writing incentive. Maybe Camp Nanowrimo is the kick in the butt I need to put some words to paper.
Stay tuned.
