CAMP NANOWRIMO Writing Marathon

I'm starting my 4 day writing marathon--now.

Anyone care to join me?

I'm writing for several more hours each day and will try to double my minimum writing goal each day (hopefully more, though). We shall see.

My minimum writing goal for today is: 12,356
My writing marathon goal is: 14,656
Ideal goal for today is: 15,056
This is for:

"MATTHAN

THE CHOICE SERIES, BOOK 1"

Matthan: What Kind of Book is Matthan? What is It About Anyway? (A Book Description)

Matthan: What Kind of Book is Mathan? What is It About Anyway? (A Book Description)

"MATTHAN

THE CHOICE SERIES, BOOK 1"

Think: "Divergent," "The Mortal Instruments," "The Hunger Games," "Twilight," "Legend," and "Wool," meets a man named Jesus and his life, but in a different time and in a different world.

It's a New Adult Dystopian, Christian Fiction, with a little bit of a love story.

This is the story of Myka (female) and how she is to make a choice as to what of the eight belief sects she will devote her life to since she's of age and is the year of requirement (Tilgath) for her to make the Choice. She is part of a group of eight who are also of age, and are to make the Choice, and they travel to each of the eight regions to live life as each of them for 53 days over the course of a year. 
They have four instructors or tutors and are taught how to also act as security for each of the regions while they are there, and are also taught about each of the belief sects.

One of the belief sects is a new one and is one most frowned upon because it is so new. It's the Matthanite belief sect, where they follow Matthan. He is supposed to be the next world leader and there are lots of rumors going around about him, both good and bad. Myka is drawn toward this sect, and in doing so, she risks it all, along with her heart, for the one she has fallen for is against that sect.

What choice will she make?

CAMP NANOWRIMO and Writing Progress

Well... Yesterday was a bad day for writing. Around eleven or so, I hit a walk of exhaustion. It's pollen season here, and I didn't get much sleep the night before, and I became so sleepy and exhausted, I realized something had to give. My concentration was also shot. Therefore, I didn't get much writing done at all. Sigh.
But, there is one lesson (of many, mind you) B, my husband, has taught me:
Be kind to yourself.
So, I moved to the sofa and did what I could do and curled up with a good book. I finished it and half of another. Both were Young Adult Dystopian. Consequently, I fed my muse and was able to rest.
There are days you have to listen to your body and let go of all the things you planned. This is even more true with writing. If I didn't, my writing would have been lackluster at best and that would have made me feel frustrated. Taking a break, even though I am in the middle of a writing deadline, gave me rest, which leads to a fresh perspective.
Last night, I didn't get that much sleep again. Sigh. Just couldn't sleep. So, I am tired today, but my mind is fresh. I have the feeling today will be at least a decent writing day (whew). Already my writing has been a great deal better and I am inspired.

CAMP NANOWRIMO Writing Progress (Matthan Writing Progress)

Yesterday was Day #2 of the National Novel Writing Month of April. I'm writing the book:

"MATTHAN

THE CHOICE SERIES, BOOK 1"

It's a New Adult, dystopian novel, a Christian Fiction book, and is a parable about the life of Jesus and the Bible, set in a different time and in a different, parallel world to earth. The whole idea is to present the bible in a different time and world, with different names and in a different setting to show how the Bible can be applies to our lives anywhere, any time. That being said, this series, as you read it, you won't know that's the intent. It will read like a New Adult Dystopian Fiction.

My goal was 4,729 words.

I wrote 6,187 words. (Yay!)

Today, my goal is 8,487 words, in which I'm about to get started.

Again, I hope to give you a synopsis of the book soon.

Writing Progress

Today's minimum and ideal writing goal were met. I have a total of 7,062 words so far of "JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA" written. (Yay!)

CAMP NANOWRIMO

I have started to work on my CAMP NANOWRIMO book early. What I'm going to do is whatever my final word count is on March 31, 2014 and I will add 50,000 and I will change my writing count goal at that point on my CAMP NANOWRIMO page at that time.
So, I'm not cheating!
I just know this book will be more than 50,00 words, so I can get started now. (And, I'm not cheating!)

My daily word count goal is 2,300 Monday through Friday.

Today is the first day of my writing this book and I've met the first word count goal and have 2,300 words written. Now, whatever I write in addition today, it's my goal to add 2,300 to that total for tomorrow, and so on. This will give me the opportunity to get used to the April word count goal and rate. I will know how hard I need to write in order to accomplish this goal by the time April arrives.

Writing Progress

My writing progress of "JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA" is:

1,013 words of 2,300 due today.
