Camp NaNoWriMo – Go Big – The End

It’s that time friends and neighbors. Was I able to write, have edited, and acquire covers for two complete novellas in just 31 days? Let’s see.

Camp NaNoWriMo – Go Big – Day 22

“But, Sam, you promised us frequent updates and it’s been a weeeeeeeek…”, says the crowd. “Well, children, then let’s just cut to the moral of today’s story: Whatever plan you make, the world will try to break.”

Camp NaNoWriMo – Go Big – Day 15

This picture sums up this precise moment in my mad month of unbridled creativity.

Camp NaNoWriMo – Go Big – Day 14

While my goals have been quite aggressive for this particular project, they feel like they’re almost within my reach. It’s a little bit tough to hit these word count goals, and kind of a pain in the ass sometimes, but that pain is just the stretch I needed to grow as a writer. Oh, and […]
