I’m doing Camp Nano!
I’m announcing that here so that maybe I’ll feel the pressure to actually complete it. And let’s hope pressure doesn’t just turn me off this time like it normally does.
“Camp NaNoWriMo is a writing event that happens in April and July. It’s different from NaNoWriMo in November because you can work on any type of creative project, not just a novel. First drafts or revision, scripts or stories or poems or essays—all are welcome! Just set a goal and get writing.”

For my nano project, not much is prepped. I started with the characters, their dynamics and a skeletal plot. I’m trying to focus on getting my head into that first scene in the days leading up to April 1st. Might mull over the first line or paragraph so that once it’s time, I can hit the ground running.
I’ve never done NaNoWriMo before, so this will certainly be an experience. I have, however, completed over 50k in a month before! Hell, I think it was even in November! That was a fucking wonderful month, even if it was split between two projects. So I think I can do it. I know I’m capable of it.
The biggest obstacle for me is how to stay motivated for this story, if it turns out I don’t enjoy it, because it’s hard to tell how I’ll feel about a project before I write it. It may be worthwhile to have a plan B locked in.
If you’re also doing Camp Nano in April, join me on the nano site, and we can do this shit together ❤ https://nanowrimo.org/participants/sam-clover
I’m excited! Are you excited?!
Other Updates from Sam Clover
Update: Youtube Lyfe
I’ve been kinda… MIA for the past couple months, much longer if we talking in the writing community outside of discord. I mean I’m always easy to find on discord in the Erotica Abyss server, which acts as my cushy, safe, goblin cave. But outside of that, I have been struggling.
Violent Horizons Release Day!
It’s release day! I’m excited! I don’t even know what to do with this. Maybe I’ll just run around the internet screaming about it at the top of my lungs until the internet police escort me out. Or I could bury myself in writing, because guess what folks… It’s NANOWRIMO time!!!! And I am participating!…
PREORDER LIVE: Sass, Trash, and One Perfect Ass
It will be free on Kindle Unlimited on December 1st and is now available for preorder on all amazon versions
