Summer Camp 2022 Pledge!!
Summer Camp 2022! Excited and the themes seem super exciting! I've been looking forward to this.
My creative goal for this summer camp is to clean up current areas and expand my world regions. I have a number of areas that need polishing, and I can already see that the prompts will help me hone my focus onto the specifics so that I can really get things looking good and give me a good foundation to continue on with my series of books set in Indarie.
This leads into my motivation. I love the fantasy genre and I've enjoyed crafting my world. Last year, summer camp helped me expand my world, helping me develop it and give foundation to some of my characters and regions backgrounds. I truly look forward to the new prompts and the themes so that I can further those regions, characters and conflicts, giving Indarie a more life-like feel.
I've also been in a bit of a rut off and on. Back towards the end of December was the worse. I was struggling greatly with an edit of my book and ended up having to take a month-long break to recover from the burnout. I fought with certain parts of the plot and world. While I know the major points for the first book, stringing the events together was causing me grief and leaving me hating the book in general. Having a little nudge in the creative department by giving me something specific to focus on hopefully with help really get the creative juices flowing once again so that I can actually get this story soaring though the sky like the Dragons my characters are friends with.
The challenge goal! Last year I dove into the camp with no direction but I loved watching my world blossom on the screen in front of me. This year I have actual goals. I hit Platinum last year, answering all 31 prompts. I know I have the ability to reach that marker this year, I just have to focus. So, my goal is to answer all 31 prompts with a minimum of 500 words.
Good luck with Summer Camp everyone!
