For July 2024’s Camp NaNoWriMo, I will continue to work on a project that I first conceived back in January of this year, and as I told my April 2024’s NaNoWriMo postcard swap recipients: “I might be working on this project in both July and November — and probably every month between then and now.” My word-count goal for this month’s Camp is going to be 25,000 words, which gives me a bit of a cushion to allow for days of not writing and/or coming up against a block.

As I did in November 2023, I will be participating in the GWIC (Global Write-in Crawl) event during the first full weekend in July, which will take place 5-7 July 2024 — with a “Packing Day” on 2 July 2024, a special event on 8 July 2024, and “Baggage Claim” event (in which awards will be presented) on 9 July 2024. I love GWIC because focus on my writing for an entire weekend — cranking out as many words as I can during as many of the GWIC’s TWENTY-ONE stops around the world that I can possibly fit into my schedule that weekend. This event definitely helps build the afore-mentioned “cushion” needed for “winning” Camp NaNoWriMo this month.

Please check back as I WILL be posting regular NaNoWriMo progress updates this month (something I wasn’t able to do back in November 2023 when I only managed to post a a mere two posts with updates). In addition to these NaNoWriMo progress updates, I’m going to be publishing other non-NaNo posts as well, including new “7th of the month” and “Tasty Tuesdays” posts. So, yeah… Please check back often, so you don’t miss anything! Oh, and don’t forget to comment, too!
