*blasts imagine dragons* I'M SO SORRY

Hey guys.
Remember me?
Remember that hopeful, optimistic writer from the beginning of March who proudly announced she would be participating in DOOM, who would have 25,000 words on her WIP by the end of March, who would emerge from the end of April victorious and with a complete second draft in hand? Remember that girl?
Hi. *waves*
I totally failed at writing things this month - I'm at a grand total of 4,733 words. Woo.
*heavy sigh* Guys, I totally failed this month. BUT. Tomorrow? Do you know what tomorrow is?
April 1st.
Why is this significant?
Camp NaNo, baby.

*epic music plays in the background*

Camp NaNo is basically NaNo, but with adjustable word counts and cabins and a super cool camp theme. And I, my small group of readers, am participating.

Is this giving anyone else flashbacks to November, or is it just me?

So. I'll be working on draft two of Empty Alibi - which is going to be EPIC - in hopes of having it ready for Summer Workshop. 

Did I mention?

I'M GOING TO SUMMER WORKSHOP THIS YEAR. 

Anyhow. Back to the original topic. Camp NaNo is a thing. Empty Alibi draft 2 is a thing. Why am I saying thing so much. 

I'm really derpy tonight, can you guys tell? 

So. I'm sorry for being such a turtle and randomly disappearing like that. Not cool. 

I pwomise not to do zat again, 'kay? I shall see you all tomorrow with the news of how Camp NaNo Day 1 went. :3

DOOM 2015 Log: Week 1, Day 3

     You guys remember how, back in November, I was pretty good about blogging everyday and updating you on my NaNo progress? Those were the days. :P
      Also, back in November, I was writing. A lot. I'm pretty sure I was averaging 2k+ a day up until the very end - where I went from 1400 if I was lucky to about 4,000 on December 3rd (that WONDERFUL day when I finished the first draft of Empty Alibi!)
      Yeaaaah, guys. My writing and blogging have both been kind of pathetic since then. But yesterday, I stumbled across a lovely thing called...DOOM.*
       It's not as intimidating as it sounds. xD
       DOOM, from what I understand, is basically NaNoWriMo without as much of the stress and insanity and whole 50k-in-a-month thing. No, it's 50k in two months. I can definitely do that. Another thing about is is that it doesn't have to be a new story you're working on - which means Empty Alibi draft 2 is going down in the next two months.
       I've been trying to edit this monster of a novel for two months, guys. Three if you count the plotting and character development I did immediately post-NaNo. But I keep getting stuck. And I'm hoping that this is something that will help me get going.
       I love this story. I love it with all its flaws, all its messy sentences, all its confusing plot twists and inconsistent characters. Bethany and co. have been on my mind since last April, and when I finally began to try and understand their story back in October, they promptly took up residence in my heart. Stubborn bunch that they are, they won't be leaving soon. :P
      And I'm quite alright with that. I mean. Look at them!

They're smiling because they don't know what's coming in the last quarter of the book. ;)

     So I'll probably be doing a weekly update this time 'round. See you guys next Tuesday!


*DOOM started three days ago. Oops. But I didn't find out about it till yesterday? xD
