    What We Talk About When We Talk About Writing - A Small Update

    (At this point, maybe every blog will have a title referencing some literary work, for funsies)

    Hi, everyone! I thought I'd drop by with a quick update as to what I've been working on. Nothing too fancy - I'm not good at making a blog look like that - but I figure this might interest some of you.

    Where I'm Calling From

    Introduction: A Confession

    I lied. 

    Well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. It would be more accurate to say that I opted for a partial truth. In the words of Carlos Ruiz Zafon, “Perhaps, as always, a lie was what would most resemble the truth”1—and in this fashion, I did lie.

    Going to a con might have been just what I needed...

    ... to get back into the fanfic writing game.

    I might totally be jinxing it by talking about it here, but I also think me saying it at all holds me to it, in a way.

    Or maybe I'm just superstitious. Many writers are. :P

Cammie Update · 3:23pm Nov 11th, 2022

I tend to keep quiet about the drafting process for all my stories, due to not wanting to get anybody's hopes up. There's never a guarantee of finish or of meeting a deadline, after all, and I work best in isolation.

That said, because I've been working on this story for, I believe, six or seven months now, it seems fair for me to start to bring the story out of the isolated drafting phase. Here is an image of the story's progress. I've spoiler-tagged it, in case you still want to be surprised:

Two chapters remain to be edited. Once that's done, I'll consolidate all of the chapters into a master document and do final copy-edits and proofing. Then, finally, Cammie will be ready for publication - assuming no large-scale edits are necessary. I am hoping to have this story ready by Thanksgiving week, if not December at the latest. We shall see.

That said, I hope you are as excited, even as nervous, as I am. It's been a very long time since I attempted anything that was novel-length, so I am aware that this story will have the smatterings of an undisciplined novelist, or at least one very much out of practice. But I am happy with the progress, and happy with the story. I hope, when it is ready, and when it is read, you all are happy with it, too.


But I'm in a good mood, so how about another teaser?

See you all in a few weeks, hopefully with a story you look forward to. :raritywink:
