Today I decided to take a different turn and instead of a Writing Prophecies post, I decided that I would tell y’all about the book that I’m currently writing.
Camp NaNoWriMo – Farewell
So Camp NaNoWriMo has ended. I didn’t meet my goal, but let me tell you why I’m not devastated or disappointed in myself. If you haven’t already, read my other posts chronicling my Camp NaNoWriMo journey! Introduction|Week 1|Week 2|Week 3 Read More
Camp NaNoWriMo – Week 3
Hey everyone! So it’s week 3 of Camp NaNoWriMo (or, well, it was) and I’d like to update y’all on my current progress! If you missed my last posts about Camp NaNoWriMo, check out my Introduction, Week 1, and Week 2 to get all caught up!
So I’m very behind on my book at the moment. My goal was to reach 10K words by today but my current word count is 8,400. I got close but I was busy over the weekend and didn’t get a chance to write anything. I hope I’ll be able to catch up this week and get to at least 20K words (my goal is 25K) before Sunday, which is when Camp NaNo ends.
Here’s a snippet from my book for y’all to read:
“A look of familiarity brightens up her eyes that were sad only moments ago. She lifts her finger in a small gesture of a wave and I follow suit.
What was she doing here? I had never seen her here before. I was about to go over to her and possibly say something, but then who I assume to be her father glances up at her.
He then follows her gaze towards me. I turn away and push into the door, only it won’t open. I struggle and try and shoulder it open multiple times before I hear the receptionist speak in an annoyed tone.
“Use the handle, Mr. Park.”
I glance down and turn a deep scarlet, putting my hand on the handle and turning. I see the girl’s amused face as the door closes behind me.”
That was from the point of view of Junseok “John” Park, my male main character. I think I’m making their relationship move too quickly but I’m kind of just writing random scenes out and I’ll have to add in some transitional dialogue or descriptions.
I didn’t outline the plot all that much which gives me the freedom to do that and it helps me write quicker and lets me worry a lot less than I usually would following an outline.
That’s all for this update. I don’t think I’ll be able to complete my goal by the end of the month, but I’ll just try and continue writing as much as I can and see what happens.
Are you participating in Camp NaNo? If so, how’s your progress going? Let me know in the comments!

Camp NaNoWriMo – Week 1
Hello everyone! I’ve been a bit inactive on this blog… and by that I mean I haven’t written posts every day like I used to and whatnot. I’m sorry about that! I’ve just been busy and then when I’m not busy I don’t feel like writing or reading anything and it’s just an endless cycle. I haven’t written anything for my book for Camp NaNoWriMo in a few days but I did want to write weekly update posts on my Camp progress so this first week’s is a bit late, but better late than never right?

Camp NaNoWriMo – Introduction
Hello everyone! Today I decided that I would write a post about Camp NaNoWriMo. You might be asking yourself right now what Camp NaNoWriMo is, for since it’s not as large as it’s processor, NaNoWriMo, it’s not as well-known. Well, basically, Camp NaNoWriMo is a smaller and less stress-inducing version of the regular NaNoWriMo that everyone knows.
