July Writing Goals

June has come and gone so fast. Now it’s time for Camp NaNo July 2018. We are super excited to begin and are both hoping to reach our individual writing goals by the end of the month.

During Camp NaNo, we are both working on projects we started during NaNoWriMo 2017, which is where we met. Camp NaNo is the perfect time to work on an already existing project. That's what we'll be doing this month and we encourage you to also work on a WIP (Work in Progress) this month.

A Realistic (Lazy) Guide to Plotto

If you're asking yourself what kind of foreign cuisine plotto might be, you're on the wrong blog, buddy. Plotto is a book written by William Wallace Cook, of deforesting-Canada fame. He concocted a formula for plot, wrote a book about it, and now it's super confusing to read. Don't get me wrong. You could totally read the in the front of the book instructions very thoroughly and understand what's going on. But who has that kind of time? Also, since when is following instructions any fun? Let's Mix It up a Little But before we do any mixing up, you'll need a copy of Plotto . My paperback copy was a whopping $18.95 USD I didn't have to pay because it was a birthday present. If you want a tangible book , you can definitely find it on Amazon. If you're cool with a digital copy, however, you can get it for absolutely free . Bonus: it's searchable. I definitely recommend having access to both. The first thing you'll notice once you...

What is Readercoin?

Haven’t so many of us wished to get paid to read? Readercoin seems to be the answer to those prayers. Readercoin is a new app that lets you earn its eponymous cryptocurrency by listening to and reading books. I'm so enamored with this app that I just had to share it with you all. It's perfect for someone like me, who has a demanding schedule and little time to read for pleasure. Cryptocurrency? You know, like Bitcoin, except this isn't Bitcoin. It's a currency that's generated by the time you spend reading and listening. I am not, nor do I pretend to be, an expert on how it works. I refer you to the FAQs for that. What I can tell you cryptocurrency can be exchanged for rewards like Amazon gift cards or PayPal at a usual exchange rate of 1,000 Readercoins for one US dollar. For most people, that's probably just as good as cash (and it's almost definitely the closest as you're ever going to get). You also have the option of donating your R...

August Writing Goals

Hello August! We're hoping this month provides us with much inspiration and many hours of writing time. Our writing goals in July had to take a backseat to our personal and professional lives. We didn't get around to running those word sprints, but we'll aim to do them in NaNo November. Neither of us met our goals for Camp NaNo. Jessica actually lowered her word count goal during the month when she realized she was deleting more words than what she had added in. For August, we've set some new, more realistic goals based on our time constraints. MEGAN’S AUGUST WRITING GOALS Write some blog posts Rework my daily schedule to include designated writing time now that there's a new full-time job in the picture Finish a short story and submit it for publication somewhere Finish new outline for Earhart & Noonan's Last Grand Adventure JESSICA’S AUGUST WRITING GOALS Write some blog posts Finish editing and rewrites on this draft version of Murder...
