The writing life doesn’t end when a book gets published. Even though I’m in the post launch for The Fire Inside book 2 of The Fire Series. I’m also preparing for Camp NaNoWriMo in April. I need to revise my 3rd book so I can hand it off to beta readers this summer. I’ve prepared my trackers and Notion writer section to track my progress for this revision. All I have left to do is summarize the chapters of the book so I have an idea of what is going on in each chapter. What is Camp NaNoWriMo? What is my 3rd book about? How do you track your revision? Do you want to take part in Camp and get some postcards? Are you looking for a writing group to encourage you during Camp? You’ve come to the right place.
What is Camp NaNoWriMo?
NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is a non-profit. They host three writing events a year. Two Camp events, one in April and the other in July. The biggest and most well known event is the November Novel writing month event. You can of course use the site to track any project all year. Sign up for NaNoWriMo here.
What am I revising for Camp?
I’m revising If the Seas Catch Fire book 3 of The Fire Series. I wrote this novel last April during camp 61,505
This book is about Steve and Mallory. They were both introduced in book 1 as the best friends to the main characters Travis and Raven.
Steve is a freelance journalist and co-founder of the band Home. Finds after writing an exclusive piece on an extreme BDSM and white slavery group with connections all over the world, his life falls apart. He is blacklisted professionally, and after an embarrassing moment is released on social media his fans are out for his blood. He reaches for the one person he believes can love him for who he is, and believe in him.
Mallory fell into a nice friend with a fantastic benefits relationship with Steve, the best man in her best friend’s wedding. When he wants more from their relationship, she has to decide if she can truly trust that romantic relationships can work for her, despite her family curse. Can she find her way through her fears to stand beside a good man who is wronged and needs her strength?
How I’m tracking my revision?
I’m tracking time spent on the project so my goal is 1800 minutes. Here is a graphic on how to track your Camp project if you aren’t doing a set word count.

Special Camp Project- Postcard swap.
I think this is my 3rd year signing up to take part in the postcard swap hosted by a member of NaNoWriMo. You can find the post here on NaNoWriMo’s forums here. I’ve found some great friends and been able to keep them as pen pals long after the event. I highly recommend it.
