July 6

I spent a chunk of the weekend researching language, making notes and looking at maps. Tonight, I finally wrote the next scene. I think I know where the story is heading now. There will be more research (especially around names in the region where the story begins) but that's for later.

Thanks to a LiveJournal post listing two possible upcoming anthologies, I have the basic idea for my first short story. As is usual with me, the name is a placeholder until something else presents itself.

July 1 - First day of Camp

Camp NaNoWriMo is back.

I tried in April but things weren't gelling and I found myself frustrated every time I opened the file. I'm not saying I won't get frustrated this month but I'm doing things a little differently. 

I have a list of markets with upcoming deadlines & a plan to write short stories and/or poetry to submit to each one. (I'm using the 1 hr of work = 1,000 words equation since I have no idea how many words will actually be accomplished.)

As it's a holiday here, I'll see if I can get more than one hour of writing behind me. Just in case the rest of the month becomes crazy. ::carefully not looking at my work schedule::

Wish me luck. Or words. Or what have you.
