An Author’s Random Musing: Camp NaNo

[image error]

Well, it is now a month away from the first session of NaNoWriMo. April will be the first Camp of the year, which means I get to pick the word count goal I will be striving to hit.

His Hands Hold My Heart

Last year, my big project was My Hands Hold My Heart, which told the story of a deaf girl in 1874. Ivy Steele took center stage as she tried to find her place in her hearing family. My readers on Wattpad fell in love with her and her love interest, Remy Prater.

This spring I begin the sequel. This will be the story where we learn more about Remy. Where is his family? What was his past like? How can he understand so much about Ivy? So many questions, and so many ideas that didn’t fit in the first book!

My word goal for the month of April is going to be 30K. That will be a good start on the first draft, but not too high to overwhelm me as I try to finish another manuscript.

Any other Campers out there? What kind of project do you have planned?

This month, I also plan to get my newsletter planned out. This is something I’ve needed to put together for several years but I get so confused when I am faced with the formats, forms, templates presented on the different sites.

Any tips for setting up a newsletter? I will take any help I can get!
