Update: Week of 4 Jul 2022

Greetings and welcome to July! I hope this finds you well.

My week went well. Camp NaNoWriMo’s July session started on Friday (1 Jul), and so far things are going well. Other than that, I’ve also read a bit. My husband and I also finished watching Firefly, watched Serenity, and watched Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Overall, it’s been a pretty nice week.

I am making some good progress on Book 11, particularly with the start of Camp NaNo. My current goal is 50,000 words (likely to change, but I may as well start big). So far, I’ve written about 1,000 words for the month, split between Book 11 and a vignette collaboration project (with a length goal of 1,667 words for the piece, in honor of NaNoWriMo). Incidentally, said vignette is cat-themed, so that’s always fun. Other than that, I also now have a mostly plotted Book 11, though per usual, I’ve allowed room for additional things that arise while I’m drafting. I suspect these next couple weeks might be a bit light with regard to word count due to family visits, but I will see what I can do in the time I’ve got.

Reading for the week has mostly been James Lovegrove’s Big Damn Hero, a Firefly novel. I am still enjoying this book. So far, it’s been a fun read. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what the other books are like. I am still slowly making my way through Brandon Sanderson’s Oathbringer, and I do now have its sequel, Rythym of War, on hand when I’m ready for it.

This upcoming week, I will likely be a bit short on time, with a good bit of preparations for family visits. Beyond that part of the week, I plan to continue drafting Book 11, and I plan to finish my collaborative vignette. With a bit of luck, I’ll make some good progress toward my Camp NaNo goal. I plan to continue reading Big Damn Hero. I also have a couple other books I will likely return to, namely Garth Nix’s The Left-Handed Booksellers of London and Bethany Adams’ Maelstrom.

For anyone who will be participating in Camp NaNoWriMo this July, if you would like to add me as a writing buddy, my name on the site is fantasy_writer42, and you can find my profile here.

That seems to be everything for this update! Thanks for reading!
