I tried to think of a big number that rhymed with zero; but I couldn’t think of one 😢 😂

I’m so invested in the series, need to know if he meets his word count goal by the end 😭😭 Also all the tracking graphics just shows me the kinda detail oriented person he is lol, love it! 👏🏾

July 21st seems to be a popular birthday. It was my moms and my friends wife's birthday to. Happy belated birthday! I'm not doing camp nano but I am working on a rough draft of a novel and i'm 43k into it so far.

Love the sound of this series and I love watching your progress - makes me feel better about my lack of progress! 😅 Happy birthday for the 21st July, I'm the 23rd!

[@damiwriteshere]

I love how we all have such specific ways of writing/planning - like writing your chapter outlines on paper! Good luck this month! 🍀

You got it💪🏽✍🏽 that composition notebook looks cool👌🏽

[@ldjwrites]

Thank you! I don't usually use composition notebooks, but I loved the design on it

[@NatashaLeecole]

@@ldjwrites same here I know what you mean. If I love the design I’m like well, you can never have too much of any kind lol

[@madebymalayka]

This is my first time here (hello!) and I love your chill vibe 🫶🏾 I'm not participating in Camp Nano as I'm in the middle of a WIP already, but it's cool that your first week was a success 🩷 All the best for your writing!

[@ldjwrites]

Thank you! Good luck with your WIP as well :)

[@StoriesByKayla]

Good luck with the rest of the month! Also, an excellent notebook choice.

[@ldjwrites]

Thank you!

Reading other books in your specific genre sounds like a good idea. I’ve got a book I’ve been working on since 2021 and it’s supposed to be heavy in the music scene. I’ve been reading and finding other books in that space just for fun, but I think I might take notes too 😂😂 Great vlog! 😁📚

[@ldjwrites]

Thank you for watching! Taking notes doesn’t always sound like fun, but I’ve been enjoying the process for this project. Good luck with yours :)

Good luck doing nanowrimo! I got past my goal the first time doing it, about 65k.

[@ldjwrites]

Oh wow! That’s a crazy achievement!

[@katethedimensionexplorer273]

@@ldjwrites thanks, it was pretty bad to read though, so many mistakes😅.

[@ldjwrites]

@@katethedimensionexplorer273 You can’t edit what isn’t there, though. It’s all about getting words on the page

[@jaswriting]

Best of luck to you this camp nano! My goal is pretty small (20k) I just hope I get to stick to my writing routine and write them words 😭

[@ldjwrites]

You can do it! I believe in you!
