Hello, everyone! I hope this finds y’all well!
April’s session of Camp NaNoWriMo is now over, and overall I am pleased with how it went. I did get some good writing done on the current draft. Also, I read a good bit and knitted a good bit. I would definitely say the week went fairly well.
I am making progress on my first draft of Book 11. Since I didn’t end up writing as much this week as I planned, I did change my goal for Camp NaNo. My original goal for the month was 50,000 words. The revised goal was 23,000 words, which I did reach. I definitely can’t complain about getting 23,000 words down in a month, particularly when a good bit of that was finishing the book I started in the last half of November 2021.
This week included more reading my way through Brandon Sanderson’s books. I finished The Well of Ascension, and I’m about two-thirds of the way through The Hero of Ages (the third volume of the Mistborn Era 1 books). Overall, I am pleased with how the series is going. There are definitely certain characters that I rather like, and the magic system is pretty spiffy overall. From assorted things I’ve heard, I know there is a decent difference between the Era 1 books and the Era 2 books, so I’m looking forward to seeing how that goes when I get there.
Now, the plan for this week, includes my standard writing and reading. I will continue drafting Book 11. I will also take some time to plot a bit more of Book 11, since it has become clear that I do have a few more things I need to figure out. Once I get those things sorted, I suspect the drafting pace will increase. Beyond that, I will continue reading The Hero of Ages. Once I finish that, I will probably be moving elsewhere in Sanderson’s Cosmere… likely to The Way of Kings. I’ve been rather curious about The Stormlight Archives. In addition to that, Bethany Adams has a new book coming out this week in her The Return of the Elves series, so I will likely be picking that up. It is the ninth book in the series, and it is called Maelstrom.
I also plan to post a review of how Camp NaNo went for me. That should be up later this week.
I think that’s everything for this update! As always, thanks for reading!
