Summer Camp 2025

So much for feral energy! I had sincerely expected to be able to kick off Summer Camp with a big bang, but instead, I've been busy busy busy! And for me, being too busy means being socially burned out. Being socially burned out means that I have to spend a lot of time recuperating (INFJ represent!) before I can even begin to write. As if that wasn't enough, I've been sick with something the symptoms of which add up to Covid-19, so that's exciting!

Still planning on hitting diamond level and reminding myself every day that I once wrote 20k words in a single day! Yes, that's TWENTY THOUSAND words in one (very motivated) day. I can do this!

It's less that I'm in over my head and more that summer turns out to be a tough season to get a lot of writing done. Everybody wants a piece of me, plus it's my birthday month! I'm only grateful that camp was this month and not next month because starting in August, I have school plus a ton of appointments to get through.

Suffice it to say that I am behind. Really behind. I'm only just finishing up Copper prompts in Week 2, and there is a lot of me that wonders whether I should have committed to... Well, less.

Now that I finally have some time to commit to writing (and by the way, great list of prompts for this week! They fit my world perfectly!) my mind is entirely focused on a different world that would not work well with Summer Camp even if I wanted it to. It turns out that this is an important development because it's a return to the person I want to be vs. the person I've had to be.

At the same time, I'm, uh, still working on the third of the week 2 prompts, so that's what's going on right now.
