PaWriCo Bookish Bootcamp June 27 – July 3 Check-In

Hey all, Sam here.

Okay, this post is a couple hours later than I had planned, but I needed to have a late start for the day so I could do a little bit of relaxing. This past week was a doozy and I am glad that it is over.

Anyway, we have reached my next check-in for PaWriCo’s Bookish Bootcamp. I can’t believe that we’re two weeks into this six week challenge already. Time is absolutely flying by.

If you missed out on what my goals are, or just what this event is at all, you can check out my previous blog post about it or go straight to to the Pathfinders Writing Collective Instagram for more information.

All right, let’s get into the overview of my week.

June 27

Today was the start of my work week, and it’s also where I found out that my boss changed her mind in how to schedule everyone with one of my co-workers off, so instead of getting my normal Tuesday-Thursday off, I instead have to work all of those days. That really sucks for my goals for this Bookish Bootcamp because I do most of my progress on my days off. I’ll figure something out though.

June 28

It was another very busy day at work, so all I managed to accomplish was some thinking about my creative goals, but nothing that would amount to actual progress for this Bookish Bootcamp.

June 29

While I did manage some writing today, it wasn’t on my D&D story, so I’m not counting it towards my Bookish Bootcamp goals. I am still glad that I accomplished some writing.

June 30

Today was another day where I managed to write a little bit while at work, but it was on the other writing project I’ve been working on instead of my D&D story, so it doesn’t actually count towards the Bookish Bootcamp. Unfortunately it’s all I managed to accomplish because it has just been one busy day after another at work.

July 1

I did manage some plotting on my D&D story today, so I guess there’s one day of writing that I can count towards my goal. Work continued to be busy and chaotic, so I didn’t get as much accomplished as I would like, but I guess a little something is better than nothing.

Honestly, thank goodness I’m ahead when it comes to my Learn goal, because I haven’t even had a whole lot of time to read for pleasure, let alone for learning. I am very very ready to finish up this 7 work day stretch and have a couple days off, because I really need a bit of a break.

July 3

Today was the last day I could get out and accomplish my Explore goal. The problem was that I didn’t have much free time. As soon as I rolled out of bed, David and I had to get our things loaded up in the car and head downtown. Every summer the town we live in hosts a Downtown Summer Market, and today was the second market of the summer….so my get out of the house and do something was helping set up our booth. I have photos on my Instagram, so you can check that out if you wish.

I also managed to do a little plotting and jotting down notes for things to work on with my D&D story, so I also made progress on my Writing goal.

Week Two Conclusion

Write: I did have three days of jotting down some notes for D&D story, and if I think of the two days of writing on an alternate project, it makes my writing progress feel pretty darn good so far.

Learn: While I didn’t manage any writing craft study this week, I’m still on track with this goal because I finished a craft book last week.

Explore: I did get out of the house for a couple hours to get our booth set up for the Downtown Summer Market, so that technically counts for this goal, but I hope to have a better outing next week.

All right, so that is all from me for today. Thank you for stopping by, and I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
