4-Part WIP Special// Part One: Camp NaNo Goals

Welcome to week one of the 4-Part WIP Special!! The theme of this round is goals, with this week focused on Camp specific goals. Let's jump right in, shall we?

~What WIP(s) are you working on this Camp NaNo?~

I'm not exactly working on any one project for camp. I usually use the April Camp to finish my NaNoWriMo novel and get a head start on future projects. 

Seeing as I've already sort of finished Simon Says, I won't be working on it directly this month.

I'm planning to outline some additional scenes for it, outline my upcoming NaNoWriMo novel, research pitching/querying, and compile beta feedback for The Dawn of a Hero so I can dive right into edits next month. 

~What goal did you set for it, and why did you choose that goal?~

I'm hoping to work for one hour on weekdays for a total of 22 hours. I figure that I could handle that, regardless of what my school schedule looks like. It felt pretty flexible and realistic. I managed 40 hours last July, even with travel, so I think I can handle about half that. 

~Can you give us a short synopsis of the WIP?~

LOL! 

~How long have you been working on this WIP?~

It varies. Some are brand new, some I recently started, and others I've worked on for years. 

~Where did the idea come from?~

Uh, I don't know. As I said above, I'm working on a bunch of things. 

~Do you think you’ll be able to meet your goal?  Why or why not?~

I think so. It all depends on how much time school takes, but I'm pretty sure I can reach it. 

~Did you make any goals for March (Camp Prep)? Were you able to fulfill those?~

My main goals was to write and schedule these posts so I wouldn't have to worry about writing new blog posts during Camp. And, thanks to this lovely Special, I was able to fulfill those. 

~Are there any aesthetics/music you’d like to share? Any goals regarded to these artistic endeavors?~

Nope and nope. 

~Share a snippet from your WIP~

What is with all of these project specific questions? 

~What's a Bible verse that sums up the theme in your WIP? Or else helps you focus as you tackle what projects you've made for your goal?~

Hmmmm. That's kind of tough, but I think it's this one.

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."

I Corinthians 15:58

Writing isn't just something I do. It's my calling. It is my desire to reach others. To encourage them. To walk beside them in every stage of life. And writing enables me to do that. 

Sometimes I wonder if my words will ever impact others. I have to remember that not a single word I write is in vain if it is the work of the Lord. 

So there you have it, the first week of the WIP Special, Camp style! I hope you enjoyed it.
