Hallote

When I get a new Cabin in Camp Nano, I always like to go and check out the web page/blog of my cabin mates. Perhaps some of you guys will do that as well? I'm afraid I'm a dreadfully inconsistent blogger, and there's not much here for you to see. But maybe something in one of the who 12 or 13 posts on here will interest you. :)

Questions

The last couple days I've been looking at these lists of questions that somebody posted on the Nano forums:

 I always find it really interesting to look at different ways or organizing information, since I like trying to get an idea pretty well nailed down. I'm not much of a fly-by-the-seat of your pants writer unless I'm writing short fiction. Like, flash fiction short.

 The complications questions especially I've found useful for trying to flesh out my June camp plot pretty quickly-- I think some of them really get to the heart of the matter, like "what is your character's secret inner problem that will be solve by the blah blah blah". I will probably also try these questions on my older story, too, since there are still a lot of elements about that I don't feel were ever properly developed.

My goodness, haven't messed with this in a while. We're sneaking up on the next round of Camp Nano this July. It's a busy month for me (so is August :<), but I really want to try to get SOMETHING done. I'd like to make it to at least a half-nano, so I guess my official goal is 25000 words.(Which I guess isn't that much of a reprieve since I'll only be home for half the month) I have a trip in July and a lot of things to do before then, but here's hoping I'll make some real progress on those things and be able to do some writing. And I might make myself a new ticker, because I like tickers. :P
