2021 Summer Camp Pledge in Wanted Hero | World Anvil

I. WHICH PROJECT ARE YOUR WORLDBUILDING EFFORTS TIED TO?

First things, first – you should understand that though I'm considered a prolific writer (true) and have many published works...they all are located in the same fictional Universe.  

Wanted Hero

  So this question's an easy one--I'll be working exclusively on Wanted Hero.   Currently I'm working on book 9: Broken Tooth in the CHRONICLES OF A HERO series, while I start on the audiobook for Race to Til-Thorin {Book 2}. That being said, I'm going to use the Summer Camp prompts to expand the worldbuilding for book 9 AND to expand the world as a whole.      

II. WHICH WORLD ARE YOU WORKING ON?

See above.      

III. WHICH AREA OF THE WORLD(S) ARE YOU WORKING ON?

This is the challenge I have with prompts not being revealed all at the same time. The area to be worked on cannot be determined.   Why?   Simply put, because this world is established with 10 novels and nearly a dozen shorts stories already written. I can't just pick a location and throw prompts at it.   My answer to this will be to study each prompt and then carefully pick what part of my world can be best 'enhaced' by a particular prompt.      

IV. HOW MUCH ARE YOU AIMING TO COMPLETE?

HAHAHAHA....if you look at the badges I've already acquired, you'll notice a slightly psychotic aspect to my personality (as loving and cuddly as I may be).   I'll say this once:
I ONLY deal in diamonds.

V. WHEN WILL YOU WRITE?

This is a complicated one--because I simply do not have the time I'd like to spend on Summer Camp (my #1 favorite WorldAnvil event).   ...so I'll have to go without sleep.   With the recording audiobooks into the night from 10pm to 3-4am, I'll most likely write alone in the local library in the middle of the night. If I can find more time, I'd LIKE to set aside a day a week where I can just spend 8 hours and write the ten prompts all at once.   The point is--I'll get it done.      

VI. WHO IS YOUR SUPPORT NETWORK?

As always, my family supports and loves me, my darling wife is forever amazing...but this year I also have Höbin, Wendell, Chuck...and though he was kind of bullied into it--Dax said he has my back as well. Plus, I have 1.5 BILLION gnomes backing me at every turn...  
  Can't do better than that!   Well, you actually can.   My online family--those from the Inner Sanctum and above--have always been my strongest support during these events. Now that's not to say everyone else in the community isn't supportive, because they ARE...it's just that when I was invited to join the IS, I'd found my home.   Those of you who have established friendships here in any channel to which you belong know exactly what I mean.
(wink)   SO looking forward to this!!!  

My Worldbuilding Summer Camp Pledge:

  "I, Jaime Buckley, pledge to take part in Summer Camp this year and will complete all the prompts--regardless of how crazy, outrageous, and addictively squirrel-like they may be. Absolutely every one of them.   However, I will NOT shoot for 'most content written' in an effort to protect myself from both burnout AND staying on track writing for my readers this year."  
Hand over my heart, looking at myself sternly in the mirror.
 
 

Let the CHALLENGE BEGIN!!

I'm only going for raw info this year....wayyyyy too much on my plate.   I think there's going to be a side "To Do" list to include the artwork, etc.   ...gotta keep going on those audiobooks. (THANK you for the review, BTW!!)
