- Did I complete the 24-Hour Novel Challenge?
(Touch me... in a non-physical way...)
@evatianne and I had the insane intention of completing the 24-Hour Novel Challenge where you write have 24 hours (split however you like across an entire weekend) to write 50K novel.
Here's how it went for me.
Would you be tempted to try this challenge? How would you prepare for it?

Also, 14 minutes in....comparison is the thief of joy. Just write the story and be happy about it LOL
Youve had it for so long that it is time to get it done! Im excited for it because I dont read massive detail either, I want to imagine it myself not have someone TELL me how the grass feels on my toes.
Exactly! Funny story. I had every intention of using my spinning wheel to work on projects this month and I haven't spun it once since I did this challenge because I've been working on this project for all the task blocks I've had for writing.
At least you made progress with the outline! But yes. I agree that you should have your project picked out and outlined in advance before you dive into something like this again. I'll check out the things you linked, and might actually be able to hop on for a stream this weekend!
Brave. That's all I gotta say. Maybe one day I'll have enough gumption to try one of these crazy challenges, lol.
Thanks for the link to Katytastic's channel. I will definitely give her videos a watch.
She was always more on BookTube than Authortube but she was one of the first people I started watching on RUclips who did anything writing-related. I'm a little sad I don't see her post new content anymore because I always enjoyed her videos.
i often outline like that: a summary paragraph outline that's pretty detailed sometimes it can be half a page and sometimes a full page or two. Also, I have fantasy adventure where there is dragons and they are bonded with a human in it.
@@StephanieWhitson all of the dragon fantasies!!!
I didn't do great -- but I'm also working on a story near and dear to my heart that I started a long time ago.
If I do this again, I'll have a better plan & perhaps work on a shorter story! hehe
Thanks for doing this with me!
I've considered a solo-hotel-retreat, too! Maybe we'll plan that together (separately) too!
I love the idea! I just realized we made the spreadsheet and I don't know about you, but I never touched it again after sending you the link. 😂 Oops?
I'm game for doing it again and having a solo retreat together out-of-house when we do. I don't know what I'll work on but I'll make sure it's better prepped!
@@SDHegyes I checked it once after you sent it to me, saw it was empty and just accepted the way of things. hahaha
Yes, next time we'll have a solid story we want to finish, distraction-free workspace, AND we'll use a spreadsheet!
@@evatianne We liked da spreadsheet. Must uses da spreadsheet! 😂
I dont have the brain energy to write more than like 12K in a few days so not something for me but yay for working out the outline and yeah removing those distractions next time will probably help. Our kitties are allll about the interuptting while working life 😅
If I had managed 12K I would have been ecstatic. I knew it was a wash as soon as the snafu occurred with the animals we were pet sitting. One of the indoor dogs made a prison break and disappeared for a couple hours before she finally returned, but had me worried sick the entire time she was gone and I couldn't get up with her owners to let them know. They finally contacted me 6 hours later after she'd gotten back so I was able to give them good news but yeah... My anxiety went through the roof during that time and there was nooo coming back from it. I am pleased with what I got done based on that alone. 😂
Goal for July? Just surviving... I never even attempt CampNano these days. Between the blasted heat, humidity, hurricane season, another dose of the you-know-what that sank me for 2 months, and last week - for good measure - the waterpump breaking so we have to haul every drop from the well by hand and carry it upstairs in large buckets to use in the bathroom and kitchen... I have all the challenges I need right now.
But, I hear you about booking a hotel for the weekend and just work, free from distractions. I've even got one earmarked... but it won't happen, it would be equal measures stressful, just a different flavour. But, M is going away for a few days to see his mum who's in hospital in Merida, so maybe, weather cooperating and the waterpump back in action, I can wrangle my head into a "writing retreat from home". We'll see.
Oooh! Even a writing retreat at home would be lovely. The kids are sleeping in so late every day this summer I'm able to get a lot done once Da Hubz leaves for work. I can pretty much work his whole shift without any interruptions... As long as the animals are satisfied, which they usually aren't because the dogs tend to follow my schedule more.
I'm sorry about the water pump. Having replaced ours twice in two years (our fault both times since we let the cisterns get too low before we hauled water), I can tell you it sucks! I can't imagine hauling water to and from a well by hand. Yikes! You deserve all the rest and relaxation you can get from everything you've got going on. 💙 Here's hoping everything starts calming down enough you're able to.
Is there a playlist for the Breaking the block lives?
Let me check. I know we talked about it but I can't remember if one was made. Once I know, I'll create a post on my community tab about it.

@@WriterSamWicker Thanks!
It says the thumbs up action isn't allowed.....
Nevermind, apparently I had to bitch about it first🤦♀️
Mwah ha ha ha ha! It was just testing you.
