New Challenge: Savvy June Boot Camp

I’ve been needing a kick in the pants, as far as my writing goes; as well as a much needed break from my contemporary romance (that I’ve been working on for 2 yrs).  Savvy Authors is hosting a June Boot Camp this month.  The goal being to take the 30 days of June and either complete a draft, or complete the revision/edits on your wip.

Blue MoonBecause I need some a bit of mental space from Worth Fighting For (the contemporary romance) and work on my Urban Fantasy.  I’ve not given up on WFF, I am actually very pleased with the progress I’ve made on it.  But since I’ve changed the story up so much from my original outline, I need a little time to work on they second half of the story.  So Savvy’s June Boot Camp seemed just the thing to both give me a bit of a breather, but allow me to pursue a fresh idea that is burning a hole in my imagination, trying to escape my mind and get down on paper. Lovely bit of imagery that is, don’t you think-LOL  😉

So, I’ve I got my new word count meter set, and I am officially on the clock.  My mission is to draft a 90,000 word draft of, what is initially termed, an Urban Fantasy.  Outside of some brainstorming & idea tossing I’ve been doing within my own mind (and out loud at times), and constantly dragging my patient CP into the depths of my crazy ideas and rationale, I really don’t know where this is headed.

Crazy?

Yes.  But you know, I want to shake things up and get the creative juices flowing.  Hopefully after a month off from WFF, I will have a finished UF draft and a golden plan for the last 50 % of WFF.

Ok, off to write now. 

(My posting consistency is already spotting 🙂 , so don’t expect too much from me this month.  Although, I do have 2 posts that will be coming up soon.  One a review on a very good ebook  and another a craft related post about a concept call Fast Drafting.
