Camp NaNoWriMo - Day 18

Day 18 - A good day of writing. With the ending plaguing me, I wrote what could be my ending? Not set in stone, but it's my ending for now. So for the rest of NaNo, I need to work toward getting to that ending, a few other things have to happen first. I did write part of another scene as well and it was enjoyable.

Just over 6k before I hit my goal of 50k. It was easy for me to do, but any actual friends of mine who come here (hi, if you do come by) know that with the way I write, I was never worried about hitting 50k. The words are easy, as long as ideas came and for the most part they did.

When I reach 50k, that doesn't mean I'll stop writing. Likely the story book won't just be done at that point, though it should be close. So I will keep going after I hit 50k. Once the book is completed, then I'll start on edits and that will take a long while. 1 - because I'm a perfectionist and 2 - because I'm just not the best writer. I think I *can* write to a degree but my writing, for most of my life, has always been telling rather than showing. I've been a penpaller all my life, and that lends to telling stories. In high school, long ago, I was on the newspaper staff, once again telling. So I'm a teller, and that reflects. I hope to be able to edit my book to show more. We'll see.

If you didn't see it yesterday, I wrote my blurb and post it. I'm rather fond of it, though I may need to change one or two things depending on if and where I share the book.


For Camp NaNoWriMo I am challenging myself to write 50,000 words.

For anyone interested, my story is EROTICA featuring the following themes: F/F sex, FFM threesomes, BDSM & Polyamory. What I'll do with the story when it's done, I'm not sure.

I'd love to hear from anyone else doing Camp NaNo, now or if you have previously. Thank you for any interest you take in my accountability here.
