Why I Write

"Have you ever tried to write or have you written a book?"

I have been writing stories/poetry since I was in kindergarten! But I haven’t finished anything since fifth grade, five years ago… Sadly. Hopefully that’ll change with Camp NaNoWriMo!

"this blog has the coolest theme i have ever seen"

Haha thanks! I wish I could say that I made it, but alas, it would be a lie.

"I can't even explain how much I am in love with this blog. I know you've heard this sort of praise many times before but it's absolutely genius and I just had to say it! xD I'm an aspiring writer, and others have told me that my writing is amazing, but I'm incredibly self-critical and I'm scared that "amazing" just isn't good enough to make a future out of. It's comforting to see I'm not the only person dealing with these insecurities. But yes, I really really love the blog! It's inspired me! :)"

This is the best ask I’ve had so far! Thank you so much! ♥

Almost May: A Novel

3

cest-mon-histoire:

This is the official website for my Camp NaNoWriMo novel! During the month of June, I’ll be posting daily updates (or as close to daily as I can get) about the progress of Almost May, the novel I’m writing. If you’re participating in Camp, I would love for you to follow me!

(Shameless self-promotion, I know XD)

Hey, guys, I would love it if you would consider following my Camp NaNoWriMo novel blog! It would mean a lot. If you guys have blogs for YOUR novels, I’d love to see them, too! (:

OH and sorry for all the Camp spam! I’ll get back to the reasons soon! XD

This is a photo of my Camp NaNoWriMo campsite last year! XD Get ready for a photo of this year’s BIGGER (maybe), BETTER (probably), MORE WRITING-Y (we’re positive about this one) campsite! It’ll be up sometime around June 1 ;)

Camp NaNoWriMo!

21

For those of you who don’t know what Camp NaNoWriMo is, GO HERE. IT’S EPIC.

As I am typing this, there are 18:08:45:21 until June Camp NaNoWriMo! I am SO FREAKING EXCITED! Like you have no idea! I’m going to spend the whole month of June in my room, being a hermit in the kiddie tent that I sadly am still short enough to still fit inside that I’m setting up in the middle of the floor, along with that plastic campfire playset I had when I was a little kid. I’m *hopefully* going to get my MacBook Pro sometime during June, so I won’t be writing by hand like I did for most of last year’s Camp. I swore I was going to get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

This will be my fifth time doing NaNoWriMo or Camp NaNoWriMo. I’ve never succeeded at getting the 50,000 words. But I’m going to win this time. I. WILL. WIN.

Sooo, lemme know! Are you participating? What are your plans for the month of June? What’s your novel going to be about? Are you excited? And most importantly, ARE YOU GOING TO WIN?

Submissions will be put in the queue this weekend! Hopefully.

I have this GIGANTIC independent research project for chemistry to do, and I’ve pretty much spent the whole week on it! I should finish today, though, so you’ll see a couple reasons soon.

Sincerely,
Rachel
