I can't believe you're finally on Book 4!!! Also, yay! Your first sponsored video (I think-unless I missed a video). Duke walking himself is adorable. I loved the 6-hour kick-off (I was there the whole time but didn't write every sprint) and the 12-hour relay (definitely didn't go to all 12 hours). "Hamilton Day!"

@RhyleeKJones 4 года назад

When you talked about transitioning into new routines, I felt that. I recently moved house and am preparing to teach new classes in the fall. I had hoped to participate in July's Camp Nanowrimo, but there just wasn't a guaranteed time that I would have to write during the transition. So instead I'm resorting to querying my latest manuscript and plotting the next. Currently, the story that I'm querying I hope to turn into a trilogy, even though it could stand alone. I have tried to write a series in the past, but never really got past the first chapters of book two. With my new (hopefully) trilogy, I have a much better grasp on writing series. But still, series are hard, and who knows if the first one is even good enough to publish! While I wait, I decided to write a stand-alone in the meantime. (From what I heard, stand-alones are great!)

For anyone thinking about getting Campfire Pro, don't forget the 25% off code if you completed Nano! I just purchased it. I had been thinking about Scapple but Campfire does so much more so I went for it because I've been struggling with timelines. So excited to play with it! 🔥

Man, I feel like it has been so long since the six hour livestream. I’m currently sitting at 25k on my book currently and I am going for 30k total today. My official goal is 75k but I want to finish a first draft of the book in a month so it will probably be closer to 130k. Also, I love your videos and think that you are super cool! :)

@KateCavanaugh 4 года назад

Bahaha it DOES feel like it's been forever since that livestream! What the heck. The 1st wasn't that long ago so why does it feel like forever? Congratulations on hitting 25K on your book though!!

@Itsrainingsimmies 4 года назад

I'm actually doing pretty well at sticking with Camp NaNo this time! (i tried in April and gave up after week one lmao) and also about the multiple books/sequel question I have 8 WIPs that all have potential to be series or at least duologies but I haven't started writing any sequels because I need to at least finish plotting book 1 so I know where the sequels should pick up (even though for one of my series I'm doing a different storyline for each book with different character arcs too, that's more of an episodic series.) My Camp NaNo project doesn't have much potential for a sequel yet but that's because I haven't done much in the way of worldbuilding (worldbuilding is where I got the idea for a sequel to one of my projects, basically I came up with something in my worldbuilding process that would be completely glazed over in book 1 because it didn't fit with Book 1's plot so I was like "great! material for a sequel!!!" ) anyway, sorry for that really long comment!! I can't talk about my writing with anyone (no writer friends :( ) so i tend to get carried away in comments on authortube. My mom listens to me and tries to follow along, bless her heart. But she doesn't even read, much less write, so she doesn't quite get it.

@vikillustrations 4 года назад

I had a headache for the past week and wrote last time on day 1. Some of your enthusiasm must have passed on me because now I feel like writing again! I can´t thank you enough! You are the best

@TheMidnightwolf15 4 года назад

The whole routine thing I totally agree with. I'm very much reliant on a routine to keep me sane, so certain activities are done at certain times of the day. But now since lockdown, with both parents being home and me not having to plan anything out with other people (as I used to go into my nearby town around 3 times a week), I've had to work around them (this is mainly with cleaning as I'm used to doing it in an empty house and playing my instruments) as they change a couple of rooms into makeshift offices. But now things are a lot better, and since I got my car I'll be able to go on walks further afield. Walks really do help me out mentally and kinda kick my creative brain into gear. Its just a shame I can't really practice my instruments as I don't live on my own (probably drive my parents crazy if I do).

@Typhon6 4 года назад

This is my first NaNo and I think I've learned quite a bit about my writing. 1) I suck at action scenes. 2) Short stories don't end where you think they will. 3)I am such an overwriter; one of my short stories is at 7700 words which is WAY too long. But I've also learned to let go and just get words down instead of dwelling too much on the quality. My mantra for Camp is "It's just the first draft, it can be fixed later"

I'm still working on book 1 of my fantasy series, and I've been able to get 16k in the first week (which has been really good for me considering it's draft 6(?) and it's getting down to very detailed changes). The 6-hour kick-off really helped even though I only managed to attend for 4 hours!

Kate, your vlogs are awesome and inspiring. Also, great company while I attempt to work diligently on my Camp Nano WIP. I'm writing the sequel to my debut paranormal fantasy, "Fractured Seraph" and I'm finding it an interesting process. Drafting was relatively smooth, given that I started it as soon as I finished book one and had the whole story in my head pretty much from that point. So it flowed out of me, making the draft go much quicker than I expected. I think I did two drafts in 11 months: Which is quite quick for me, as I'm a slow typist due to low dexterity and disability. So far for Camp, I've revised two chapters and got almost 4,000 words in! :D

@marahsoore6452 4 года назад

Man good luck with the new transition, but it's going to be so worth it to spend time and relax. This last week was a good start though I'm pretty sure I'm slowing down because my family is needing me more. I'm not tracking on the website, it's just a hassle. I'm ahead of writing my novel I'm just dragging my feet editing my other novel. If I'm honest I need a few days when no one needs me and I'll get it done, but I get to wait and see if I get that.

My novel is FINALLY no longer Corona stalled!!!! I was able to have lunch with my CP on Tuesday and get the notes. Of course, he hated this part of the book and thought it was way too long. It took about a day for me to get over myself and have all the feels, but I'm not cutting everything he wanted me to cut but I am streamlining it. I do need to cut my 1st draft was over 93k and really for what I'm writing it should be closer to 75 or 80k. I also started on a different short story in my short story collection. I'm at the end of the Woman in the Woods short story, but my ending doesn't make sense anymore and I don't know how to fix it. I'll come back to it. I just need to refocus the story and the middle is getting muddy. I'm working on 2 short story collections 1 is called The Funny Thing About Death and 2. Is a SciFi/Speculative Fiction collection.

@writative8285 4 года назад

Merry Day of birth to you soonly! I think you should celebrate with all the O's. Doggos, Man-o, Cappucino, gelatto, Pinot Grigio, Lin-Manuel Mirando... (yikes) I love how excited you get when you talk about book four. This years been hard on me and I'm losing some of that excitement that art and writing give me. I'm working hard at it trying to get it back though. Yall were all on at the last hour of relay? Omg, that's what I get for wussing out a couple hours early. I got a lot of plotting done last week, I wanted to get into drafting, because I'm pretty sure I'll find joy again in that, but I know I have a little more work to do before I can let that horse run. Talk about chomping at the bit though. I was recording my progress on the NANO site, for two projects, but now I'm wondering why. I'm not recording actual word counts, just making up one to show that I worked for the day. (I'm trying Jessica Williamson's 30 words in 30 days or whatever it is) The project I'm about to start drafting is a trilogy at the least. I'm already having to make changes to the way I plot because I know it somehow needs to come together at the end, and so I plotted the three book story first with rough gaps and now I'm filling in details for book one. I'm pretty much ready to write except for fleshing out the antag and deciding on a few major things about how I'm going to write it. I can't imagine how attached to these characters I'll be by the last book. That must be a cool feeling. This week I've learned that I need to improve by being more honest with myself about what really matters. I'm looking forward to the start of drafting, probably by Sunday morning in time for the 10-hour whatsit! I'll be there for at least part of it, I hope to have that #goodgoobrain feeling too. ;)

@littlestpineapple2898 4 года назад

Watching this was such an important reminder of the importance of routine. Which *I know* but it's so easy to forget (or more realistically, to ignore). And it feels kind of pointless because so much is up in the air, but I know that's not actually accurate.

I'm not doing Nano this year just because I can't deal with the stress of it right now. I get what you mean about commenting. I play a lot of youtube while I'm doing other things, which has the same problem not commenting because well... I'm doing other things. I try not to forget to go back and comment later, but... that just doesn't happen sometimes. I'm trying to get better about it but it is going to take time for me to make a habit out of it. I have a couple of interconnected books planned but have only written the first draft of one of them. Looking back at it, the poor thing needs serious rewrites done. I might go back and rewrite it after my book is in the later stages of revision.

I'm doing my first NaNoWriMo ever. Instead of a novel, I'm planning a novella with at 17000 to 25000 words. My goal for the month is 17000. Wimpy, I know. The story is a sequel to the novel-length fanfic I wrote last year.

My first Camp Nanowrimo. I have learned that my goals will take as twice as long as I expect. I am editing my zero draft and am hoping to get 10K more words on it by the end of the month. My first read through of 69.8K words took eight days instead of the four days I thought. Looking forward to your future videos. Did you end up changing your Nanowrimo goal at the end of week 1?

Congrats on book 4! Also when you refer to your bf as 'the boyfriend' I get ATLA vibes. Love it! (The Boulder is conflicted...)

I wasn’t able to keep up with the 12-hour relay because it started at 5:00 p.m and ended at 5:00 a.m but I was able to stay for like 4 and a half hours or something. I definitely enjoyed the 6 hours of writing sprints camp kick-off. And yess book four of the Meridian Maps series omggggg I’m so happy for uuuu :D I heard of the writing software Campfire Pro that you were sponsored by before. My competition was cancelled :( but I will be keeping that idea for future projects. I decided to go back to rewriting my novel “A Dream Come True”. Duke is so cuteee omggg. I always wake up at like 5:00 a.m when everyone’s asleep to write and I would usually binge watch all of your videos on the TV while writing. They make me just want to keep writing if that makes sense. I write from 5 a.m to 12 p.m and then take a little nap from 12 p.m to 2 p.m. Mornings are just the best. If it weren’t for you then I wouldn’t have came back to writing after leaving it in 2018. I left it from that time till the end of 2019 when I found your channel. Thank you !! I don’t think there’s any of your videos that I didn’t watch for at least 2 times. 💕💕💕 and also I hope you don’t mind but I used your insta pic which I really really liked as my avatar picture thing 👉👈 (your photography skills are amazing)

Sooooo...I decided not to do Camp this time around. I felt like I had finally found some kind of routine and then I moved and the world really started to fall apart as there were protests every night and for a while a few groups were meeting about 5 blocks from my place. (The meeting spot moved to a different meeting location about 2 weeks ago.) I feel like I have truly learned that transition is hard at any point and I'm continuing to readjust and get back on track. In other words, I'm continuing to write, but with no goal in mind. If I write for any part of the day, that's enough. Also, is there a playlist with the 12 hour relay? I would be interested in that!!

Sadly this was a horrible week one. I had to go back to work which kinda through everything off. Still trying to finish my second draft, while working on a squeal to a novel I wrote last year for camp. Yet, I feel left behind. I am not tracking on the website this camp as I still don't like how it looks that much. My writing routine has fallen since March, which I find interesting because of the fact my reading has never been this good. For camp going forward I hope to find my writing schedule in the mess that is my normal schedule.

What do you think about writing your own personal novels in your created world and combined them with writing fanfics about Harry potter or star wars?

Kate, have you heard about Passion Planner's new ambassador program? I feel like you'd be such a good candidate! I've been using PP since college (Yikes, did I really graduate 5 years ago??) and I love so much seeing you use it, too! I got the email a few days ago and thought of you right away.

Week one of Camp didn’t really go well for me. In other words: I didn’t write at all. Mental health has been a huge struggle for me since the end of May and I haven’t really been writing since then. But I’m still determined to keep on keeping on and make the second week of Camp the best that I can. Watching your videos always encourages me to be more productive and take my writing more seriously, so thank you for that.
