Too Many Projects! But It's All Under Control!

Whew, I just needed to take a breather first before I can really delve into what my summer has turned into ha.

I have been tackling several different projects or hobbies or creative endeavors this past month, some more interesting than others, but the key here is "several."

Here is a lovely list to start off with what I've been doing or plan to be doing.

the dictionary challenge
six-word-stories
a mini art book
re-writing "an easton year"
and possibly doing camp nanowrimo.

1st: The dictionary challenge is coming along. although without a computers, there is nothing much to show for it, only my solid, honest to good word. Sorry. July is approaching fast and I will try to post up cool images! I have so far completed five words. Woo!

2nd: Six-Word-Stories, now this is a fun project I magically came across through tumblr and I am very glad to have come across. It is a project where I will try to come up with a six-word story everyday. Just one a day. I think it will be an interesting form of writing for me, a bit more challenging as it is limited to only six words. But as Ernest Hemingway said, he wrote his best stories in six words. And the progress from this is I am on Day 4.

3rd: I started a small mini art book where its just a lot of "experimenting" and "playing around" with paint basically. Its a small book, and I've filled out quite a few pages and when I get access to that real computer I keep talking about, I can have the pictures to prove it xD

4th: Re-writing "An Easton Year" has been a strange and slow process. Its very, very slow. I've mostly been re-working the plot and focusing on Danielle as a main character. The way I left her in November during NaNoWriMo was a bit of a cliched perfectionist with a bit of a cold shoulder, but I've been focusing on making her more likable. And of course the notable Easton family who may have been too mysterious. So those are in the works.

5th: Camp NaNoWriMo! Oh how I've been waiting for this. I wasn't sure about joining it, but I feel I can give it a try because I came up with this new idea, and you'll never believe how, in a dream, yeah. I know. A dream. Its kind of a stupid way, but this stupid and cliched way has led me to an interesting development and I want to use it for Camp NaNo.

I was trying to stay away from writing another romance novel, but this one was just too good, and Camp NaNo is new, so I decided to do it anyways lol.

So the idea is a girl whom I've dubbed Emily, finds herself, involuntarily, going back to London, a city where she hasn't been in and refused going to for many years because she left the city in love and vowed to keep that lovely memory alive. But when she returns, she is confronted with her past. So I have this past/present idea that will happen, where it will showcase Emily as she is now, and how she was when she first came to London and the love she found there. And eventually she will have to confront both of them head on as they will overlap each other in this basic reality punch in the face. Its still a little rough, and my explaining on here is a bit choppy, but I think once July hits, I can get the ball rolling and see where Emily and her nameless companions for now can go. Can't wait!
