You may have noticed that I stopped updating this blog after July Camp Nano Day 8. That’s because I got much more involved with my YouTube channel and writing. I’m not going to permanently retire this blog but for more frequent updates on how I’m doing in my writing process, be sure to subscribe (and don’t forget to hit the bell icon to get a notification every time I post a new video):

Update appeared first on Zara Hoffman.

I went to 3 livestreams yesterday, and even though I wrote in both Free Falling and Obscure Origin, my word count for each and combined was pretty low. But all progress is good progress. On a more exciting note… I got new supplies for my Authortube filming and my pretty oracle cards from The Threads of Fate finally arrived (I ordered them in May, but preorder and covid delayed the shipping). Also, be sure to check out yesterday’s vlog.

July CampNaNo2020 Day 8 Recap appeared first on Zara Hoffman...

Yesterday was kind of awesome. Even though I yet again wrote zero words in Obscure Origin, I wrote over 1k words in Free Falling and that’s definitely a win. Can I just express my love for the Discord Sprinto bot? Best thing about Discord by far. Also, be sure to check out yesterday’s vlog.

July CampNaNo2020 Day 6 Recap appeared first on Zara Hoffman.

Yesterday was pretty pathetic. I only wrote 58 words in Free Falling and zero words in Obscure Origin. I’m hoping today will be better thanks to Alli Earnest on YouTube and The Sprint Squad on Discord. Also, be sure to check out yesterday’s vlog.

July CampNaNo2020 Day 6 Recap appeared first on Zara Hoffman.

Yesterday was my biggest success yet during this Camp NaNo. I caught up on my Obscure Origin goal (I wrote over 1200 words for this project alone), and I also wrote in Free Falling (800 words). I didn’t make up my goal for that (which, at this point, is a little daunting) but I wrote over 2k in total, and that’s always amazing. Today, I’m just writing as much as possible. I’ll likely be watching old livestreams and using the […]

July CampNaNo2020 Day 5 Recap appeared first on Zara Hoffman.

Yesterday was even more disappointing than the last. Yet again, I didn’t sleep well, and though I wrote in Obscure Origin it was less than 200 words. I didn’t even get to Free Falling, despite my best intentions. I’m now very behind on both of my projects this month. But today is a 12-hour writing sprint relay on YouTube for Camp NaNoWriMo, so I’m certain I’ll be doing a lot more focused writing today and hopefully I can make up […]

July CampNaNo2020 Day 4 Recap appeared first on Zara Hoffman.

Yesterday was disappointing. After having trouble waking up and having a good workout, my writing day started off with a bang. I finally was able to write in Obscure Origin again. But it came at the expense of doing work in Free Falling. I wrote my daily quota for Obscure Origin (but didn’t make up the 2 day loss), and I didn’t make my daily quota for Free Falling. So… in summary, I’m now behind on both of my projects […]

July CampNaNo2020 Day 3 Recap appeared first on Zara Hoffman.

Yesterday was a bit of a dud. There might have been even more time I wasn’t writing than Day 1 because I took 2 very long walks with my dog, wrote 2 blog posts, and did a lot of cleaning. And editing my Day 2 vlog. In the middle, I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole, so while I was able to stay on target with Free Falling, I yet again didn’t get to writing Obscure Origin for the month […]

July CampNaNo2020 Day 2 Recap appeared first on Zara Hoffman.

Yesterday was a huge day. There were so many write-ins (I went to a total of 13 hours—though there was a lot of time I wasn’t writing because I was walking my dog or editing video). Which brings me to the next thing: it was my first time doing a vlog (and having to put it up by the end of the day). Even with all that, I wrote over 1k in my new novel, Free Falling, the first in […]
