SUMMER CAMPS

 
 
 

Planning

     

Week One
Pledge

  The first Summer Camp I participated in was 2020 and I immediately felt the draw of creativity. However in previous Summer Camps I did not attempt any planning, in fact I don't think I started writing until the second or third week of July. So with Summer Camp 2022 my goal is to Dig Deeper, my theme is to Dig Deeper. I want to dig deeper into Summer Camp including planning and I want to dig deeper into the Shadow War across Creation. I am excited to write or expand key locations and personalities in my world. I would very much like to write 31 prompts but I won't force that to happen. A huge shout out to EmilyArmstrong for inspiring me with an amazing Summer Camp pledge.   Obstacles
  • Game Master first
    wannabe writer second
    (but I stayed at a Holiday Inn)
  • Time
    (50+ hour work weeks)
    (unrelated to world building)
  • Bending Prompts
  • Art Resources & Time
  • Avoid the look for art squirrel
  • Avoid the CCS blackhole squirrel

    Week Two
    Connecting Themes

     
     

    Clanless Banner Horava Vampires by WhiteWingedCrow

    Copper
    Expanse

    I will be using this is an opportunity to expand current locations or add new locations throughout the city. This will be a combination of Vampire Domains and locations just below the veil of mortal society and mortal locations.
     

    Clanless Banner Horava Vampires by WhiteWingedCrow

    Silver
    Leadership

    A chance to detail and give unlife to the Vampire Elders that have authority for the Shadow War within the city. This includes branching off the Vampire organizations, court positions or unknowing enemies of the Vampires like hunters and the pantheon of light. How far are the enemies of the Vampires willing to go before they become worse than the Vampires.
     
       

    Clanless Banner Horava Vampires by WhiteWingedCrow

    Gold
    Discovery

    TBD research, exploration, and investigation.
     

    Clanless Banner Horava Vampires by WhiteWingedCrow

    Diamond
    Monstrous

    It is strange considering the major characters of my world are vampires which actually seems to makes this theme harder not easier. So I am leaning towards detailing the other things that go bump in the night, the things that are darker reflections to the Vampires. Also the method the Vampires will use to achieve their goals.

    "Avoid the CCS blackhole squirrel"   I identify with this...a LOT.

    30 Jun, 2022 21:54

    Me too!

     

    Also the Look for Art squirrel, the "I can't finish this article until I create fifteen cross-connected Historical Entries" warren full of bunnies, the "okay now why does this sentence I just wrote feel very slightly off" chipmunk wearing a suspiciously primary-colored fake squirrel tail, and the unsteerable Full-Forward Marmot of the run-on sentence with too many dependent clauses.

     

    "Write the whole first draft, write it badly, but write it all before coming back to do any edits," so many experienced authors have told me. I believe them. But I can't!

     

    I am currently experimenting with allowing myself one hour of edits, no more than twice a week. How do you folks get yourself to respect your "avoid the" limits?

    30 Jun, 2022 22:26

    Oh this is great advise, I am going to try very hard to stay focused. Happy Summer Camping.

    Thank you for reading. You know how some people wear sleep masks, I am going to try and wear CSS blinders while writing.
