Juniwrimo 2022 (or something like that)
May. 30th, 2022 08:26 pm So I am taking part in JuNoWriMo, which is a NaNoWriMo-styled write-a-thon that takes place in the month of June. It's similar in that you need to complete 50,000 words in 30 days and the work must be original. Unlike NaNo, you can work on something that you previously started.
You would think with that allowance that I would be doing this annually with a vengeance. Unfortunately that is not the case. It pretty much has to do with the month of June. Lots of things happen in June that take up time. So, finding time to write is a lower priority. I am also so programmed to participate in November that I know where to find the time to write.
I want to give it a go this time. I'll be working on the Plato-Bell saga but this is going to be focused on Lizzie's sister Lu and her "funny" but initially clandestine romance with someone old enough to be her father and that was a part of her father's circle once upon a time.
Lizzie's story is done in diary form. Lu's will be straight-ahead prose. Perhaps with some letters included, sort of like Evelina or Cecilia.
Evelina, Cecilia. Camilla and Juliet=Frances Burney's "paper daughters."
So when I say "taking part" I mean that I'll of course write and track the count but I'll pass on the Facebook group. I've never been that writing group sort of person. Not because I'm above it. I share things with some people. Group discussion was something that happened in school and I am so beyond school.
Similar to NaNoWriMo, I'll try and post updates on the progress of the story and whinging about writing. LOL.
It'll be interesting going back and writing Lu and Woodworth's romance out since we know of it only from her sister's limited POV. Besides Lizzie was/is busy with her romance with Emily Jane. It will also be interesting since when we last left everyone, Woodworth was gone and Lu believes him to be missing and in danger.
And she's not wrong...
