The Weekend Relay happens three times a year and this time, it was perfectly positioned just before Camp NaNoWriMo! But as I'm still laser-focused on Project ☠️☠️, I set my goal for the weekend to finish Act II....(you'll see how that goes lolol). Here's the writing vlog from this past weekend!
0:00 what is the Weekend Relay??
2:32 starting day 1 VERY EARLY on saturday & defining my goals
11:38 mental breaks & backtracking (but making the story better!)
17:31 finishing chapters, over 30K words, and finishing day 1!
23:13 day 2, learning from previous struggles, & questions for you!
☟↓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU BELOOOOOW! ↓☟
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
What do you think of writing relays or time-based writing challenges? What tricks or tips would you give to someone wanting to try one for the first time?
Do you have a "writer alter ego"? (If you're a night writer, do you take on a morning writer persona when forced to wake up early? Bahaha. Do you have a different ~writer persona~ for the different genres you write? LET ME KNOW.)
L I N K S M E N T I O N E D :

Honestly tapping out before the end is so relatable... But I'm also living vicariously through this vlog because I had a mental health spiral as soon as I got off air after my own stream and so barely participated at all!

The "latte art" at 16:37 made me think of the Little Prince. It was like he was on a little island in space or sitting on a cliff with a bush beside him (or, if you want to push it, the "bush" could be the fox curled up sleeping😅

I love that I discovered this video right when I'm going to start a re-write of one of my WIPs (the fifth re-write actually)! As far as time-based challenges, I tend to actually not be great at them. I put too much pressure on myself to finish before the time and then get disappointed if I don't make it. I do write in 20-min bursts, but I don't generally have a plan for what I want to accomplish for that sprint.

​@@KateCavanaugh The main things are all set up and good to go, so I'm just doing some quality of life tweaks; at the moment I'm sprucing up the wordcount tracker sheet with some fun and motivational "stickers". Oh, and I'm still gathering prompts! I write short stories, so I can never have enough inspiration for when I'm once again faced with a empty document, no thoughts, and lots of words left to go ^^

This is my first year participating in camp nano and I set a super low word count compared to others (10000) but I tought its a good number to try and reach as I'm still working on scenes. I tried making an outline but I found myself writing all sort of ideas everywhere (at least 3 notebooks) and I'm at a point near mid story where I decided I needed to lump details together and add dialog ideas for the scenes where I have them and the end result is wild. I am basically doing a draft with the basic ideas, little details and such but putting how I want a scene to go, and even tho some scenes have only 100 words others have over 500, the longest one has 900 words. Was super shocked when I saw I have over 10000 words. With around 20 scenes planned, hopefully getting another 10000 won't be hard.

I did drop in and out of the weekend relay. I got a lot of things done. I also tried out Aeon Timeline 3 and it is definitely is a upgrade. I think I am going to use this version more than the previous one. Especially the subwaymap-like timeline. Seeing as Camp NaNoWriMo is coming around I might as well announce that I am planning on finishing a short movie called The Broccoli Papers which is a small town political drama in the style of an Wes Anderson movie. I am also going to outline the sequel to one of my fantasy novels. This is a goal which comes from quarter 1 over to quarter 2 I am hoping to just breeze past. In general for my goals in Quarter 2 my goals are mainly draft based.
@KateCavanaugh
@KateCavanaugh Год назад
I’m so glad you love 3!! I need to test out the subway map version. Much like Scrivener, I tend to stick with what works for me initially and then learn just how much cooler capabilities it has later bahaha. LOVE the title of The Broccoli Papers. Instantly intriguing. Gives me a “wait what” that I’d wanna learn more about! And good luck in your outlining!!
@rainyhammer9235
@rainyhammer9235 Год назад
@@KateCavanaugh You can read it after I am done. This is a screenplay idea I am just doing for the fun of it and to learn screenplay so I don’t mind sharing it with people. This is an idea I got after going on a word generator and the words Broccoli - Posture - Publication. And my brain immediately went The Broccoli Papers - small town political drama and I couldn’t let this go so now I am writing it.

My back has never felt so cared for (except that one month I actually did yoga consistently). It's a new-ish addition and sorta blends in on streams bahaha.

Were you saying you couldn't make your Mac screen always on dark mode? You can, you just have to manually set it to be always on dark mode instead of auto. I saw you had dark mode on for RU-vid then it switched to light, which is what I assume you were talking about. Mine never switches to light mode and I have it on dark only.

Hey Kate, would you (if you haven't already) consider making a video on your rewriting work flow in Scrivener? I understand the potential issues of showing too much actual text, but maybe just talking about it and showing text blurred would be very useful I think.
