Honestly, I’d be writing this amount this month whether or not Camp NaNo was running.
It works out interestingly for me that Camp started on the day I began my next project, though! I cleared my calendar for April so I could focus on writing. Everything I have planned for YouTube is done, and aside from a final proofreading pass and the official ebook formatting, Paragon of Fire is ready for release at the end of the month.
This time, I arranged my schedule in a way that I could take weekends and evenings off, too, which hopefully will help keep my creative bird feeder full.
I have time for fun projects on the side. I have time for reading and playing games, too. I have time for weeding the garden, which is good because spring is upon us and the spiderwort that was in the front garden when we moved in has still not been vanquished.
It also means I have time for a little tiny side project I have planned for my newsletter–which you should really be signed up for, if you’re not already, because it’ll have lots of bonus content and worldbuilding tidbits for this series!
Ideally, I’ll actually end up well above the 50k word mark at the end of April, since I’ll be focusing on writing each weekday, without anything else needing my attention. I’ll be posting updates on Instagram and my author Facebook page, so be sure to check those out for updates on how book 3 of Spectrum Legacy is going.
Otherwise, I’ll check in at the end of this month to let you know how close Paragon of Water is to being complete.
